Department: Health

Over the past nine years, my service on the Curriculum and Academic Policies Council (CAPC) and its various committees—including Executive, Graduate, Undergraduate, General Education, and Undergraduate Policies—has deepened my understanding of the academic processes that shape our institution. Through this work, I have actively contributed to curriculum development, policy refinement, and the enhancement of student learning experiences.

My dedication to shared governance and faculty collaboration has been a driving force behind my service, and I remain committed to upholding academic integrity and fostering innovation within our department. I am eager to continue advocating for policies and initiatives that support faculty, advance student success, and strengthen the Public Health Sciences curriculum.

I would be honored to continue this service and look forward to the opportunity to contribute further to the growth and excellence of the Department of Public Health Sciences and the West Chester University community.
