Information

I was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and graduated from Central High School, the second oldest high school in the United States. I moved to Florida in 1990 to pursue a degree at Florida A&M University as a first-generation college student. My original major in college was health administration, but after taking just one sociology course, I knew that this was the field for me! I had always thought about how the social world impacts individual attitudes and behaviors, so the field of sociology became my 'natural' career choice.

I received my Bachelor's degree in Sociology from Florida A & M University in 1995 and my Master's degree in Sociology from the University of Florida in 1997. Five years later, I earned my Doctoral degree in Sociology from the University of Florida. My primary area of specialization is Marriage and Family. My dissertation examined predictors of parent-teen communication about sexual issues.

I have been teaching at SF since 2000 and I really love my job! I enjoy teaching, I am excited about the field of sociology, and I look forward to interacting with students. As a faculty member, I have been instrumental in internationalizing the marriage & family curriculum. With the support of the college, I have traveled to Africa, Europe,  South America, Asia, & the Middle East.  It brings me immense pleasure to share what I learn about cultures around the world!

My hobbies include playing Scrabble, reading novels, analyzing popular culture, and researching my family history.
