I have had the very great pleasure of working with, helping to guide, and learning from a number of talented undergraduate and graduate students. I put great value in researching and publishing with students, and I am very grateful for the wonderful collaborations that have resulted from my partnerships with emerging scholars. Students with whom I have advised, published, and served on their committees have secured positions at a variety of wonderful institutions such as Seton Hall University, Eastern Oregon University, Colorado State University, University of Nevada Las Vegas, Pennsylvania State University, University of Minnesota-Duluth, Texas State University, Eastern Illinois University, Purdue University, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
