Currently, I am in my 13th year in academia as the Information Technology Librarian at Fayetteville State University in Fayetteville, NC. 

I am the Systems Administrator for the Cloud Based Integrated Library System, Authentication System and Discovery Service. In addition, I oversee Library Technology, and liaise between Library and Campus Information Technology Department. Moreover, I ensure service up time and resolve system outages. I also ensure data accuracy in these systems as well as system security.

As a mother, wife and career woman there is hardly any time left for hobbies.  However, I love to travel and most recently acquired a passion for walking. I am looking forward to this exciting academic journey.

Brought up in a family of educators, it has always been my goal to pursue a doctoral degree in business.  Charlotte’s DBA program offers me the opportunity to enhance my career, making this goal a reality while working at the same time.

My research interests include Information Systems Management, Project Management, Technology Evaluation and Selection and Content Delivery Systems.
