Research focuses on literacy education through African American feminist lenses and STEM pedagogy transformation. Her work examines literacy practices, text history, and active learning methodologies, contributing to UN Sustainable Development Goal 4 for Quality Education. The fingerprint of her scholarship reveals intersections between Linguistics, Text History, Academic Literacy, and Knowledge Construction.

Publication analysis shows consistent scholarly output since 1999, with recent emphasis on two complementary trajectories: historical analysis of African American feminist literacy practices (2021) and institutional STEM education reform (2019). This dual focus bridges humanities scholarship with practical pedagogical innovation in science education.

Professional service includes committee leadership roles from 2020-2022. Her teaching portfolio demonstrates active mentorship through 19 distinct course offerings since 2019, with current involvement in graduate-level Bibliography & Research and undergraduate African American poetry instruction.

Though her discipline doesn't involve traditional laboratories, she contributes to academic teams through the STEM Center of Excellence initiative and cross-departmental collaborations evidenced in co-authored publications on pedagogical transformation.
