I started mathematics at the college level in remedial/ developmental mathematics in 1982. By 1986 I graduated from Coppin State College with a B.S. degree in Mathematics honors. In that same year I passed my first actuarial exam on the first try. This is particularly interesting since Coppin did not have an Actuarial Science program on the horizon.
After working in the Actuarial profession for seven years I decided to attend graduate school to fulfill my BKX (Beta Kappa Chi) scientific honor society oath. I was fortunate to be admitted with funding to Howard University’s mathematics graduate program; this was based on my success in passing actuarial exams. My master’s degree focused on Abstract Algebra and Mathematical Analysis. However, later I was introduced to some of purest results in Applied Mathematics by one of my advisors Professor James Donaldson. I went on to earn a Ph.D. in mathematics based on existential and numerical results in modeling Optical Solitons.
Finally, I currently serve as an Associate Professor of mathematics at Coppin State University. In addition, I serve as the Mathematics Program coordinator.
