6/17 – 9/17 University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, North Carolina. Field Instructor with the School of Social Work. I provided supervision for a dual MSW/MPH graduate student from UNC – Chapel Hill, doing her internship at the Center for New North Carolinians here at UNC – Greensboro.

1/15 – 7/15 University of North Carolina at Greensboro, North Carolina. Lecturer in the Department of Social Work. Teaching two sections of Social Work Methods II and Social Work with Groups (graduate course).

1/15 – 2/15 Guilford College, Greensboro, North Carolina. Adjunct in the Peace and Conflict Studies program. Co-taught a course with Jeremy Rinker (Professor in the Peace and Conflict Studies program) on Exploring Buddhism in the Community: Meditation as Peace Practice in the Triad and Beyond. This was in intensive, experiential January Term course where we introduced the fundamentals of Engaged Buddhism to students, facilitated a four-day meditation retreat/class/team building exercise, then after the retreat we took students to six different Buddhist communities and temples in the area (both serving American practitioners and Buddhist temples serving immigrant and refugee populations) so students would have an understanding of the different schools of Buddhism, how some Buddhist temples become cultural centers, how these communities struggle integrating peace practices (Ahimsa) in their community activities, and how monks and nuns in these communities become community workers and social workers.

5/10 – 5/14 Visiting Assistant Professor, Department of Justice and Policy Studies, Guilford College, Greensboro, North Carolina. In this position I taught a variety of courses in the Community and Justice Studies major of the Justice and Policy Studies Department and advised students for both majors in the department. I also served as a Judicial Advocate for Student Life and was the academic advisor for three student run groups, The Greenleaf, The Buddhist Fellowship Club and Student Senate. As academic advisor of these three groups I had to work closely with students in the managing of their activities, dealing with conflicts that would arise with students and help them negotiate administrative duties required for the groups.

My duties as a judicial advocate were an integral part of my teaching and advising in community justice and at Guilford College. The judicial component of student life was based on a restorative justice model. My primary responsibility as a judicial advocate was to help orient students to the restorative nature of the

judicial process, help them navigate through the judicial process and advocate on their behalf. I also helped train students who were interested in becoming judicial advocates and worked with student life on improving the overall judicial process on campus. While teaching restorative justice, I integrated my experiences as a judicial advocate and connected students in my classes to student life and the judicial procedures. Students were also to attend CAP (community action plan) training and sit in on CAP hearings as a requirement of my restorative justice classes. CAP hearings were part of the judicial process where students who had engaged in minor infractions met with a group of Guilford College community members to discuss the infraction, and where the infraction was not serious enough to warrant potential suspension or expulsion.

1/09 – 5/10 University of North Carolina at Greensboro. Adjunct Professor, Department of Social Work. In this position, I taught a variety of graduate level courses.

1/07 – 5/08 University of North Carolina at Greensboro. Teacher Assistant. In this position I taught an undergraduate class in the Department of Education titled, The Institution of Education. I designed this class with an emphasis on race, class and gender. The capstone project for students in this class included a media project and presentation illuminating the media’s influence on education and society.

8/07 – 5/08 University of North Carolina at Greensboro. Graduate Assistant. In this position I worked as a graduate assistant to my committee advisor, conducting research and assisting in writing.

5/07 – 7/07 University of North Carolina at Greensboro. Research Assistant. Awarded a stipend from the school of Educational Leadership to conduct independent research for the summer of 2007. I conducted research on religion and ecology in relation to community building.

5/06 – 7/06 University of North at Carolina Greensboro. Research Assistant. Awarded a stipend from the Graduate School to conduct independent research for the summer of 2006. I conducted research on ecology and green anarchism.

Administrative Responsibilities and Committees

Guilford College

Prioritization Process Committee (2010 – 2011). Guilford College underwent a prioritization review process where programs had to demonstrate viability and sustainability. My part of the process was reviewing and reporting on employment and

post-undergraduate educational opportunities for those students who were majoring in Community and Justice Studies.

External Review Committee (2011 – 2012). The Community and Justice Studies major underwent an external review of the major and curriculum. My part of the of the process was again reviewing and reporting on student success, post-graduation and employment and educational opportunities for students graduating from the program.

Curricular Changes Committee (2012 – 2013). The Community and Justice Studies major underwent curricular changes as a way to increase academic rigor and standards for the major, increase academic credit and provide a more cohesive educational process. My part of the curricular changes was to review and report on other majors that were similar to community studies in nature (i.e. social work, public health, public administration). Based on this data, we included a two semester, “capstone” course (as opposed to the current one semester) which integrated research and community work into the final year of the student’s education.

I also facilitated Center Fellows meetings, which brought together academics and professionals in the field that had a focus on issues important to immigrant and refugee communities.

I also worked as a clinical social worker and provided direct psychotherapy with adolescents, individual, couples and families on a variety of issues that needed to be addressed in a clinical setting.

I would at times have to intervene on behalf of the children and foster families in relation to conflicts with school systems and other support agencies, mediating between these systems and establishing a resolution to issues.

8/00 – 8/01 AmeriCorps ACCESS Project, Community Worker, Greensboro, North Carolina. AmeriCorps is a project working in cooperation with the UNC-Greensboro Social Work department to help provide services to the refugee and immigrant community in North Carolina. My site was located at a Vietnamese Buddhist Temple in High Point that serves the Vietnamese immigrant and refugee population in that area. At this position I was helping in grass roots organizational development assisting Temple members to do things such as apply for their 501 – (c) – 3 non-profit status, search for foundations and grants and

overall maintenance of the Temple. I was also teaching an English as a Second Language (ESL/ESOL) class and a Citizenship class. This position was based on a one-year commitment.

The social work staff had expressed to hospital administrators for the need to have social work services in the Emergency Department (ED) and the Out-Patient Clinic; I worked in these areas and recorded data to help substantiate that need. Based on this work I developed a proposal, which consisted of literature review and personal experiences that was to be presented to the hospital to help demonstrate the need for a social worker in the ED. Because of the work and research that I conducted, a social work staff position was approved for the ED.

5/94 – 5/95 Triad Health Project, Case Manager, Greensboro, North Carolina. This job consisted of case management work with individuals who are HIV+ or had AIDS.
