About My Career:
I've been involved in the field of volunteer/program management, experiential learning, and social justice education for nearly ten years. I completed my M.A. in Social Justice at Loyola University Chicago in May 2008. Afterwards, I traveled to Nigeria to conduct grassroots research on womens' and childrens' issues. I then accepted a position at Mars Hill College, near Asheville, NC, where I served as Field Service Coordinator and Director of LifeWorks Center for Civic Engagement and Service Learning.
In September 2011, I returned to Loyola Chicago to begin a new position as Community Partnerships Coordinator in the Center for Experiential Learning, focusing on strategic partnership development, non-profit capacity development, and partnership support. In July 2014, I became Associate Director of the Appalachian Center for Civic Life at Emory & Henry College, focusing on capacity development for community partners, faculty, staff, and students. Additionally I teach in the Public Policy and Community Service degree program.
Specialties: community development, volunteer management, student development, non-profit capacity building, social justice education, program planning, facilitating reflections, travel coordination, dialogue facilitation, direct action planning, etc...
