Biography

I teach undergraduate and graduate courses within the School of Health Sciences and specialize in research methods and education concepts specific to the health and human sciences. I advise Integrated Health Sciences undergraduate and Master of Health Sciences graduate students. I also provide professional service at program, school, college, university, state, national, and international levels. My research focuses primarily on disability studies with a focus on mental health, healthcare evidence synthesis, and healthcare practice and research ethics. I previously worked for many years as a research librarian focusing on the health and human sciences. Twenty of those years were spent at WCU's own Hunter Library.
