PhD
I am currently studying for my PhD in Education, with a primary specialization in Higher Education, at George Mason University. I am in the coursework phase of my program and have passed Portfolios I & II. I expect to defend Portfolio III in Summer 2025, take my final course and propose my dissertation in Fall 2025, and graduate in Fall 2026. My dissertation research is about how academic librarians learn to teach and how to better support librarians as they enter the classroom.
