I’m excited to share my professional biography with you. Over the past decade at Kent State University, I’ve had the privilege of teaching and researching in the fields of microbiology and epidemiology. My passion for academic success extends beyond the classroom through my role as the Founder & CEO of Ekaza-Bridging The Gap. This organization is dedicated to supporting underserved students and closing educational gaps, while also nurturing future leaders in STEMM fields. I’m proud of the work we’re doing to foster innovation and academic achievement, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to contribute to this important mission.

Excited to reflect on a career dedicated to collegiate athletics excellence and leadership. From guiding Boston College through transformative growth to fostering academic achievement and community impact, it's been an incredible journey. Grateful for the opportunities to shape futures and build champions in sports and education.
