About Me and My Research
Since beginning my journey in this field, I have always sought to pass on knowledge, the one great equalizer. They can take your possessions and your freedom, but they can never take your knowledge that you can carry with you and with it battle ignorance and make a better place for others. My different experiences as an educator and designer have allowed me to become a more competent and compassionate member of the higher education community.
My research is focused on the different types of knowledge in the scientific realm. Western science is often touted as the only or best kind of scientific inquiry. Other types of knowledge could be incorporated into the scientific curriculum of institutes of higher education.

Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced.
James Baldwin
But the female mind has demonstrated a capacity for all the mental acquirements and achievements of men, and as generations ensue that capacity will be expanded; the average woman will be as well educated as the average man, and then better educated, for the dormant faculties of her brain will be stimulated to an activity that will be all the more intense and powerful because of centuries of repose. Woman will ignore precedent and startle civilization with their progress.
Nikola Tesla
There’s no such thing as neutral education. Education either functions as an instrument to bring about conformity or freedom.
Paulo Freire
