Welcome

Dear Colleague

It is with great respect and honor that I present my portfolio to you for review.

I have been privileged to work at Howard University as an adjunct professor for several years before receiving a full time teaching opportunity in 2003. My portfolio is a reflection of the passion I have for my profession, for my students, my community, and for my work at Howard. Little did I know when I first started teaching as an adjunct professor I would eventually become faculty in this worldwide recognized department at this prestigious university. My work is the result of my constant commitment, and the inspiration that my peers and students have instilled in me.

As you go through the links, you will encounter numerous documents and multimedia links representing the excellence I strive for. Included are descriptions of research, publications, media citations, multimedia links, letters of support, as well as evidence of awards received, and service to academia and the community. All of my products reflect the enthusiasm I have for my job, because everyday I come to work is a great blessing.

I thank you for reviewing my professional work and for considering its content.
