About Me: I completed a PhD from Walden University and an MBA/BBA from the Open Universiteit in The Netherlands. I have a personal fondness for the quantitative research methodology and enjoy sharing my enthusiasm for statistics. As a fan of poetry, I am the editor of the Dissertation Haiku website where I collect and publish short poems about dissertation studies, written by doctoral students.

Why I enjoy my role as an instructional specialist

When you meet me, you will notice that I LOVE statistics and that talking about stats is my passion. The most exciting part of my role as instructional specialist is when I get to explain complicated statistical concepts to you in laymen’s terms and then hear you bring the explanations back to me in your own words.

What students can expect from me as an instructional specialist

I will help set you at ease at that start of your statistics course, will push you to think outside the box during our sessions throughout the term, and can help you grow academically.
