  focusing on issues of equity and access for underserved populations.\n\nCurrently I serve in a university math dept. I have served in K-12 districts and still consult K-12. \n\nMy content area has been mathematics but I have assisted with all types of institutional strategic planning and cross-curricular goal development to meet assessment standards.\n\nI have successful grant writing and strategic planning skills. \n\nI collaborate with colleagues and perform heavy line and copy editing for research journal manuscripts in math/statistics and social sciences.
