I am a full-time Lecturer in Political Science and Sociology. I teach American Government, Political Science 11 and Introduction to Sociology, Sociology 11 and Social Inequality Sociology 37.
I am interested in and have done research focusing on immigration with emphasis on the Dominican diaspora and the effect it has on those who immigrate. The question I ask in my research is, is the American Dream real or make believe?
I enjoy teaching because every semester I teach students, I learn from students. I see our students as the future.
