Brief Biography:
Over the years, I have consistently worked with three groups of stakeholders: faculty, students, and community partners. I have provided training and technical assistance in a wide variety of areas, including (but not limited to) assessment/evaluation, curriculum, research and scholarship, and best practices for collaboration. My experience includes consultation as well as conference-style presentations. I've also had quite a bit of experience with integrating a variety of credit-bearing opportunities with scholarship programs, to create a richer experience for students and community partners. I am the chair of the faculty advisory committee for the Civic Engagement Minor at UCLA, for which I also wrote and developed the proposal for its implementation. I am pleased to participate in this program, and hope that I can contribute to the further development of service learning and civic engagement courses or programs.
