Research Interests
My research focuses on higher education leadership and student success, particularly the role of institutional policies and student support services in addressing food insecurity and other basic needs that affect academic outcomes. I am especially interested in how nutrition education, campus food access initiatives, and cross-campus collaborations can support student health, retention, and overall well-being. Additionally, I am exploring how emerging tools such as artificial intelligence may enhance teaching practices, improve student engagement, and inform institutional decision-making.
