I try to make each class a unique experience, based on my background in urban law enforcement as well as life situations. I have a scholarly, and open-minded approach to the topic areas. I enjoy interacting with students in and out of the classroom, in my capacity as a career advisor to those who seek advice on academic and personal issues.
