Doctoral Dissertation and Thesis Committees Experience

Since 2018, I have had the honor and pleasure of serving as a member and chair for doctoral and master's thesis students at several universities (Touro worldwide, National American University, and American Military University). As a committee member and chair, I was responsible for promptly reviewing thesis and dissertation drafts and providing feedback. Working with Institutional Review Board (IRB) submissions. In addition, I have successfully mentored 75 doctoral and thesis students on topics ranging from psychology to criminal justice and intelligence (national security).
