My personal and professional experiences illuminated a realization that many social problems exist throughout society. I wanted to use these experiences and my education to highlight and change these social injustices. It seems fitting that the academic context is one of the best places to promote change, given this is where many of our future leaders reside. Through my primary academic strengths and interests, as a researcher and lecturer viewing and analyzing society through a critical social justice lens, I strive to shed light on social issues and inspire others to contribute to social change.
