Director of Academic Support

Greetings and Welcome!

I came to Maryville College in 2009, after teaching and then program and site directing in alternative education throughout Central and South Florida. The focus of my research centers around the retention of 1st and 2nd year college-identified underprepared students and student-athletes. I also specialize in academic success strategies, such as time management, organization, systems of academic accountability & other important study skills needed to not only survive college, but to thrive throughout the 4-year experience.

In 2012 I won Maryville College’s Sharon Murphy Crane Distinguished Service Award and in 2013 I was honored with the Spirit of the Covenant Award.
