About Me

Through my research, I explore how social factors such as race, socioeconomic status, and neighborhood characteristics influence the efficacy of public policy initiatives. Professionally, I have more than 15 years of experience in operations management, both in the public and private sectors, with half of that time spent as an administrator at an urban community health center serving North and West Philadelphia.

I have been a full-time faculty member in the public administration department at Villanova University for more than 12 years, teaching classes at both the graduate and undergraduate levels in Public Administration Theory, Research Methods, Intergroup Dialogue, Health Services Planning, and Cultural Competency. I am also Affiliated Faculty at the University of Pennsylvania for the Master of Organizational Design Program, as well as a Lecturer in the Dialogue, Ethics, and Social Good Certificate Program at Penn.
