Research Interest

My desire for researching began as a graduate student at Howard University in Washington D.C. While enrolled as a doctoral student at Howard studying Urban/criminology and medical sociology, I researched the psychological effects of Breast Cancer in African American Women, and environmental injustice. My doctoral research at Argosy University explored the relationship between violent aggressive behavior, victimization, attitudes on death and risk-taking behavior on urban African American males. In addition to my previous research, I am interested in investigating the historical and depressive issues as they relate to current day African American Women issues.
