Assistant Professor
University of West Florida
Pensacola, Florida, United States
I am a licensed social worker in the state of Georgia and a full-time, tenure-track Assistant Professor and graduate faculty member in the Department of Social Work at the University of West Florida. I teach research methods/ evaluation, social policy, and theory. I have professional experience working with Department of Juvenile Justice-involved youth and their families; youth with Serious Emotional Disturbance in the school setting; adults with Intellectual/ Developmental Disabilities in the community setting; and experience in the renal dialysis setting. I have additional experience with program evaluation and policy practice. My mixed-methods research agenda examines criminal legal systems/ death penalty policy, disability policy, and their intersection using a social inclusion/ exclusion theoretical framework. My research is published in peer reviewed journals across the arenas of social work, criminal justice, disability, and public policy. I have presented my research at professional regional and national conferences. I have served as an invited speaker for the Office of the Georgia Capital Defender and the Federal Bureau of Prisons.
