Personal profile
Biography
I was born and raised in the Caribbean, and moved to the mainland U.S. to attend graduate school in the early 2000s. Prior to moving, I taught at the elementary level. I worked as a school psychologist for more than 11 years before becoming an assistant professor in the Department of Graduate Psychology and Counseling in 2017. I’m a married mother of 4, and love traveling with my family.
Research interests
I’m currently researching teacher self-efficacy for educating students with autism spectrum disorder, but enjoy a variety of other research interests.
