Thank you for visiting my page. I currently hold a dual appointment as an Assistant Professor in The School of Individualized Study and the Department of Sociology and Anthropology at Rochester Institute of Technology. I am an Afro-Caribbean first-generation scholar, and the cultural bi-product of a close nit Jamaican family who immigrated to Brooklyn, NY in the 1970s. I received a Bachelor’s degree from SUNY College at Old Westbury, a Masters of Science degree from St. Bonaventure University, and a Ph.D. from the University of Rochester. During my tenure as an educator, I have been a certified social studies teacher, teacher educator, graduate and undergraduate college professor, and published scholar. I have presented my research at various national and international conferences, and have published my work in handbook chapters and peer-reviewed journals. This website serves as a window for showcasing some of my teaching, travel, and scholarly activities. I currently live in Honeoye Falls with my husband, Jack Beck, and dog, Zippy, in a suburb in the Greater Rochester area.
