Simmons College

Associate Professor and Hartford Faculty Scholar

---

I joined the distinguished faculty of the Simmons College School of Social Work in the summer of 2004 following three years as an assistant professor at the University of Utah College of Social Work, doctoral training at Columbia University, and more than 25 years of clinical and administrative work experience in a variety of settings in the New York metropolitan area.

My joint appointments in the Simmons School of Health Sciences, Harvard School of Dental Medicine, offer students exposure to state of the art interdisciplinary approaches to clinical practice. I am always happy to talk with prospective students in the Simmons MSW and PhD programs in ways to obtain the MPH degree at the Harvard School of Public Health.
