MA in Applied Anthropology, with practical experience in teaching and research

I have studied cultural anthropology for seven years, up to receiving my MA in applied anthropology from the University of Memphis. In particular, I have done qualitative research in cultural trends in coffee in different countries as well as an applied research project in service delivery to Syrian and Iraqi refugees. My academic experience also includes acting as secretary of a minority student organization, working as a teachers assistant during graduate school, advising current students at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, and teaching an intro to cultural & linguistic anthology class at SIUE. As an anthropologist, I see that culture is an integral phenomenon to every person, but the way culture takes shape and acts upon people can vary wildly. In an ever expanding and interconnected world, it is vital to help others understand different cultures and peoples to prevent misunderstandings and build bridges. I work with students one on one to meet all their academic and professional goals through a holistic approach in which I involve the student in the decision making process, consider their strengths and weaknesses, and apply my own knowledge and experience. I always encourage my students to engage in critical analysis of culture and society and even my own teaching methods so I may better deliver material and information. Furthermore, I believe that teaching anthropology should involve contextualizing a student’s lived experience so they see themselves within the broader framework, thus bringing the content into focus. I have experience using qualitative and quantitative research methodology in human research. In performing my research projects, I have gained familiarity in the moral and ethical issues that surround human-subject research. I have presented my undergraduate research project, which received the outstanding senior project award from the SIUE anthropology department, at the Society for Applied Anthropology conference.

Music Theory Professor/Tutor

I have been a professional musician for 15 years now, and a professional composer for 9 years. I studied music theory, advanced music theory, set theory, modernism and modern theory, shinkerian theory, and how music theory reflects music compositions and applications. I studied this in-depth area at Southeast Missouri State University where I received my bachelors in Percussion Performance and Music Composition. I have studied with Dr. Robert Fruewhald, Dr. Jim Daughters, Dr. Shane Mizicko, Dr. Snow, and Dr. Alexander Fragiskatos in terms of composition. For music theory, I have studied with Dr. Timothy Schmidt, Dr. Robert Fruewhald, Dr. Jenna Sehmann, Dr. Michael July, and Dr. Sebastian Buhts. I have attended live music theory seminars and consultations as well as master classes, and I have taught music theory, and still do, from a beginner's level to the most advanced theory can get. I have written musical compositions for orchestra, concert, jazz, funk, chamber, solo, band, and film and media over the span of my career and have had some incredible performances and recognitions across the states of Missouri, Texas, Washington, Ohio, California, Illinois, and Arkansas. I was selected as Master of Music Theory in 2021-2023 from Southeast, and this is a great honor. Not only can I explain and introduce music theory concepts, but I can also apply it in real time for my students, as I already do with my private lesson students. You will not want to miss this opportunity as I have been told I live and breath music, and it shows.
