Research

  • Evaluating graduate students’ perceptions of mentoring, a minority experience
  • Redefining the role of elementary school counselors
  • My general research interests include the character of graduate education, graduate student socialization, and innovative approaches to graduate education. It is my intent to base my doctoral research on closely examining the environment of higher education. As an IGERT Fellow I will better try to understand the impact multinational interdisciplinary training has on doctoral student education.
