Biography
I have been involved in medical education and biomedical research at UMMC and the State University of New York at Buffalo over the last 36 years. I began my career as a research assistant at UMMC under the supervision of a neurosurgeon in 1984. During that time, I conducted research in neuro-oncology and cerebrovascular disease. Later, I relocated to Buffalo New York and continued my work in neuro-oncology and cerebrovascular disease research at the State University of New York at Buffalo. Later I joined the Department of Otolaryngology/Head and Neck Surgery at the State University of New York at Buffalo as a part-time research associate while maintaining my position with the Department of Neurosurgery. I became an instructor of microsurgery techniques in the department and I also worked as a medical technologist part-time in the clinical laboratory at the Buffalo General Hospital before returning to Jackson, Mississippi.
In 1993, I relocated back to UMMC and joined the Department of Anatomy as a research associate. I was promoted to senior research associate in 1994. In 1995, I transferred to the Department of Neurosurgery at UMMC as a senior research associate and rekindled my interest in neuro-oncology, and was promoted to Instructor of Neurosurgery in 2001. After receiving my Ph.D. degree in 2006, I was promoted to Assistant Professor of Neurosurgery and tenured in July 2010. I currently hold joint appointments as Associate Professor in the Departments of Neurosurgery and Assistant Professor in the departments of Neurology and Neurobiology and Anatomical Sciences. I served as interim director of neurosurgical research between 2001 and 2007. In September 2008, I was appointed liaison of neurosurgery research and remains in that position today.
My duties now include both teaching and research. As a researcher, I have continued my research in neuro-oncology and cerebrovascular disease and through collaboration have served as PI and Co-PI on extramurally funded grants in excess of one million dollars. I have also been instrumental in facilitating the research efforts of the neurosurgery faculty and residents. As a teacher, I am involved in the education of medical students, graduate students and residents. For students, I am currently serving as the Course Director for Medical Neuroscience & Behavior I (CONJ 611), Review of Human Neurobiology (ANAT 652), Neurobiology (ANAT 715) and Teaching Practicum in Neurobiology (ANAT 733). In addition, I am serving on graduate student dissertation committees and qualifying exam committees. For residents (both neurosurgery and neurology), I provide a series of neurobiology didactics lectures with board review questions that serve as a review for board exam preparations. I also serve as the simulation laboratory coordinator, microsurgery techniques instructor and coordinator for a 3D neurosurgical anatomy conference for neurosurgery residents.
