I currently teach within the Sociology, Anthropology, and Social Work Departments. I am also the Coordinator for the Human Services program (HMS) here at NCC. I have been at Nassau for about seven years. Specifically, this Fall I am teaching Racial and Ethnic Relations as well as Sociology of the Family. Both classes have a lot of interaction and some contention. I like contention (discussion and disagreement) because it allows us to test what we know and continuously learn from what is presented.
I have been fortunate to be on the American Sociological Association's Committee for teaching and learning, the Eastern Sociological Society Community College working group and a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha, a new sorority for human service students. I have worked to plan conferences both on campus and attend those taking place off-campus. However, my fondest memory of my time at NCC is when I took HMS students to the MACH’s conference in Maryland. After they presented their poster, a fellow professor from a four-year school commented on how excellent their presentation was and specifically noted how it was a great example of the intellect of the students. At first, I was offended. Of course they are smart. But then I realized that she was expecting low performing students, and our NCC students completely blew any misconceptions she had about Community College students. This is what makes NCC so unique to me. Our students tackle much hardship to attend here, but when they arrive, they shine. It keeps me on my toes.

I am a Liberal Arts major in my second year at NCC. The biggest reason why I chose Nassau Community College is that I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life after high school and saw NCC as the perfect place to explore that.

I am a marketing major and will graduate in 2025. After a rough start at a large four-year university, I chose to attend Nassau Community College. It has a nice campus, a great community, and besides — my mom went here! My best experience so far has been my in-class presentations.

I transferred to NCC to pursue a degree in Nursing. After some sudden life-changing events I needed to be back home with my family. Nassau was the best educational opportunity for me, especially considering my chosen career path. One of my favorite experiences at the College so far has been forming a sense of community with my peers.

For my first semester of college, I attended a large university out of state. As the semester went on, I was feeling more and more detached from the experience. After some contemplation I decided that coming back home for college would be my best choice.

My major is Biology and I am in my second year at NCC. I originally came to Nassau Community College because of the smaller class sizes and proximity to my home but the terrific faculty and flexible class schedules are great as well. As a science major, I would have to say one of my favorite experiences at Nassau has been the hands-on work that we do in the labs during biology classes.
