We are tied to the ocean. And when we go back to the sea - whether it is to sail or to watch it - we are going back from whence we came. ~ John F. Kennedy
Diversity, equity, and inclusion are notions that influenced me immensely since I lived in six countries, so these thoughts were critical to being more receptive to different cultures and practices. It is considered a necessity to be mindful of certain groups that have been marginalized and view individuals on equal footing, regardless of individual or generalized group characteristics. Incorporation of these notions and consistent practice of them fosters increased understanding, insight, and harmony between the practitioner and the interacted individual (or group).
I actively incorporate the above notions not only on a team level but also with individuals within my sphere of influence. I taught students with disadvantaged backgrounds, disabilities, and affected by war (specifically, the Ambazonia War).
This section contains regions of the world where I had prior or active research. Each sub-section contains background information on the region, as well as my research activity.
