Service and leadership

Much of my service focuses on building communities where faculty and students from underrepresented groups can thrive in computing and STEM.

The POGIL Project

I co-lead the Supporting Inclusivity Strategic Team, which builds learning communities, affinity groups, and Pop-In professional development sessions for faculty at institutions serving historically marginalized groups. I helped design the team's Learning Communities Program and analyzed participation data to guide outreach.

Professional organizations

I served as Posters Co-Chair for ACM SIGCSE Virtual 2026, the computing education community's major conference.

Florida A&M University

At FAMU I coordinated the Computer and Information Sciences assessment committee, faculty development planning, the Google Scholarship Program, and the annual Innovation and Technology Expo. I also advised student organizations, including ACM @ FAMU, the ACM Committee on Women, Women in STEM, and HBCU Battle of the Brains and hackathon teams. The full list appears in my CV.

Looking ahead: the Caribbean Classroom Project

The Caribbean Classroom Project is an initiative I hope to launch to support teachers and faculty across the Caribbean. It grows out of where my own career began: in Belize, I taught Information Technology to high school students preparing for the Caribbean Secondary Examination Certificate and taught computing courses to working adults at St. John's College Junior College.

I envision the project as a program of technology-enriched faculty development. It would offer practical workshops, resources, and learning communities that help Caribbean educators use active and collaborative learning, educational technology, and AI in ways that fit their own classrooms and students. The project would draw on what I have learned designing faculty workshops at FAMU, building learning communities with the POGIL Project, and designing online courses at FSU.
