Working in the Office of Multicultural Affairs provides an opportunity to interact with the many students who come to the office. I work with the King/Chavez/Parks Visiting Professor Program and help to maintain the many databases used within the office. I received my BSN and MS from the University of Michigan and currently am in the Doctoral program.
