Experience

1. Professor of Social Emotional Learning

   Sacred Heart University

   Apr 2024 — Present · Fairfield, CT, US

   As a professor in the doctoral program, I specialize in teaching Foundations of SEL Leadership and the SEL Leadership Seminar, with a particular focus on systems-level leadership in Social Emotional Learning (SEL). I equip students with advanced knowledge and practical skills necessary for the integration, sustainability, and capacity building of SEL initiatives within diverse educational contexts. My courses emphasize the strategic alignment of SEL with academic and equity goals, ensuring culturally competent, affirming practices that foster inclusive and sustainable educational environments. Through this comprehensive approach, I prepare future leaders to effectively manage and expand SEL programs, making a lasting impact on educational systems.
