Greetings! My academic accomplishments are first and foremost due to the outstanding
faculty, staff, students, alumni, and supporters of the #1 HBCU: Florida Agricultural
and Mechanical University (FAMU). The dynamic, intellectually challenging, and collaborative
FAMU environment sustains my commitment and capacity to practice and sustain mutually
beneficial intergenerational participatory action research and scholarship; at the
intersection of environmental justice; sustainable community development; the food-energy-water
nexus; and broadening participation and workforce development in STEM.
At the FAMU School of the Environment I engage undergraduate and graduate students enrolled in environmental equity and justice; environmental toxicology and human health; environmental ethics; sustainability for the 21st century; environmental and occupational health; and introduction to environmental toxicology courses and they also participate in creating and posting their environmental agency and voice in the digital media space, Invest in Our Planet: A Social Media Perspective.
I work collaboratively with students, faculty, staff and administration in the School of the Environment and across campus to develop, lead, fund, and sustain our environmental programs, centers and institutes at FAMU: NOAA Center for Coastal & Marine Ecosystems (CCME II); Lola Hampton-Frank Pinder Agroecology Center; Sustainability Institute; Center for Environmental Equity and Justice. M
My participatory community outreach, engagement, and research focuses on environmental equity and justice and broadening participation in STEM outreach, education and workforce development.
