Area of expertise
Social geography; global migration; Caribbean studies; international student experiences
I joined the Department in the spring of 2010, and I am currently an Associate Teaching Professor of Geography. I graduated with a Master’s degree in Geography in 2003 and a PhD in Educational Theory and Policy from Penn State University in 2007. Originally from the Caribbean, I grew up in New York City and was trained as an urban social geographer and educational theorist with an interest in international migration, urban social life, the politics of identity, educational policy, and contemporary geopolitics. Although I do not currently supervise graduate students, I can serve as a graduate committee member and undergraduate honours thesis supervisor.

Research
My research explores the social geographies of ethnic segregation among immigrant communities in urban settings, the cultural politics of transnational identities, and the social experiences of international students on university campuses in North America. I also have a broader interest in the internationalization of higher education as well as the history and philosophy of education.
Teaching
My teaching philosophy focuses on diversity because the world is becoming increasingly interconnected. Therefore, higher expectations and demands are placed on students today to have global competence skills that will assist them with how to interact with people from different cultural backgrounds. As a teacher my primary objective and responsibility is to teach students ways in which they can enhance their knowledge and develop the social skills necessary to effectively interact with people from other cultures. Students learn global competence through academic learning in the classroom and by proactively engaging in diverse social interactions. I purposefully design the course curriculum for my education and geography classes with a goal of exposing students to a myriad of literatures about people from diverse backgrounds. In my teaching, I also strive to stimulate diverse learning by providing students with course material that covers multiple viewpoints about a given issue. Currently, I teach a range of courses at UVic, including Human Geography, Contemporary Geopolitics, World Regional Geography, and the Geography of the Caribbean.
