Living With HIV | Sharing My Story

July 2023 begins a new journey for a PhD in Leadership & Change at Antioch University. I am very excited about this and look forward to researching about HIV Prevention & Care for college students. The program is designed for professionals to complete within four years and continue their current professional endeavors. The Graduate School in Leadership & Change is a very unique program and can’t wait to begin the process.

I have talked on several occasions about the gap in research around college students and HIV. I strongly feel it is a missing link in HIV research and Higher Education research. Considering that 21% of the new HIV cases are in the 16-24 age group, this is a critical issue for Higher Education. I look forward to exploring current research on this age group and defining/re-defining culturally sensitive HIV prevention messages and ways to provide support for college students living with HIV.
