Most impactful undergraduate academic/co-curricular experience:   My experience as a McNair Scholar at CSUF was the most critical undergraduate experience which shaped and prepared me for an academic career.

One thing you’d like others to know about you:   I am committed to social justice and the field of social work. My teaching, research and service to my community all center around promoting social justice and preparing future social workers and human service organizations to provide the best possible services to clients/consumers and communities.
