She earned her Ph.D. in counseling and student personnel services from the University of Georgia. Prior to joining UMD, she served as an Academic Associate and Program Coordinator for Student Affairs Leadership Ed.D. program in the College of Education at University of Georgia where she taught in the M.Ed., Ph.D., and Ed.D. programs. Dr. Moore also was a faculty participant and researcher in the Ghana Study Abroad in Education program at the University of Georgia. As a former Student Affairs administrator, Dr. Moore is committed to educating, learning from others, and promoting inclusive education environments in higher education. It is important for her to bring her practical skills to the classroom, informing an intentional pathway of applying theory to practice in higher education/student affairs spaces. Dr. Moore's research agenda is two tiered with a focus on: 1) Qualitative research methodologies--critical research; narrative research; epistemological pathways, and 2) Inclusive campus environments--Black student identity development; student success at historically Black colleges and universities; LGBTQ student development; student athlete transitions; contingent faculty development; study abroad in Ghana and impacts on pedagogy. She is thrilled to be a member of the thriving scholar-practitioner community at UMD, committed to advancing a social justice agenda in education and practice.
