Profile

I came from the National Institute of Justice in Washington DC, and joined the faculty here at UCF in 1997. During my tenure here, I have served in a number of roles. These include graduate program director, department liaison to the PhD program in Public Affairs and Associate Dean in the former College of Health and Public Affairs. I also served as Associate Vice President with the Regional Campus Administration. In this role I was responsible for all the academic programs and schedule at our 11 teaching sites and 100+ faculty. I returned back to the department in 2018 and served as director of the department's newly minted PhD program for its first year.
