Scholarly Lectures/Writings:
- Concerns of environmental injustice are inherently social issues yet are negotiated in scientific measures. How that scientific, quantitative data is collected, communicated and understood in a governmentally generated risk assessment is often done ignoring the cultural context in which that knowledge has been obtained and is distributed (Lejano and Stokols 2010:108). This leads to varying perceptions of health risk with the science often presiding over the social. Conflicts arise due to the risk message unidirectionally passing from etic perspective to the residents, with the subsequent discounting of the historical experience of the risk (Morgan et al. 2002). Far from simply being varying degrees of understanding, these different ways of embodying risk are fundamentally distinct in nature, Primary Investigator, Southern Chivalry: Perception of Health & Environmental Justice in a Small Southern Neighborhood, Healthcare, 2015

Educational Background:
- Completed Florida Justice Association Al J. Come Trial Advocacy course. , 2022
- CS50 - Computer Science for Lawyers This course is a variant of HarvardUniversity's introduction to computer science, CS50, designed especially for lawyers (and law students). Whereas CS50 itself takes a bottom-up approach, emphasizing mastery of low-level concepts and implementation details thereof, this course takes a top-down approach, emphasizing mastery of high-level concepts and design decisions related thereto. Ultimately, it equips students with a deeper understanding of the legal implications of technological decisions made by clients. Through a mix of technical instruction and discussion of case studies, this course empowers students to be informed contributors to technology-driven conversations. In addition, it prepares students to formulate technology-informed legal arguments and opinions. Along the way, it equips students with hands-on experience with Python and SQL, languages via which they can mine data for answers themselves. Topics include algorithms, cloud computing, databases, networking, privacy, programming, scalability, security, and more, with a particular emphasis on understanding how the work developers do and the technological solutions they employ may impact clients. Students emerge from this course with first-hand appreciation of how it all works and all the more confident in the factors that should guide their decision-making, 2020
