I am complete with PhD coursework in Adult and Continuing Education and a graduate certificate in Academic Advising as of spring 2017.

RESEARCH INTERESTS
the coi model, literature and community speak to me strongly in my research area - online student services and specifically academic advising to online students. these longer term relationships with an online student, beyond the classroom deserve some light, and i can't wait to absorb everything here, and get to work!
