I am an associate professor of mathematics and the Chairperson of the Division of Mathematics and Sciences at Kentucky State University. I received my Ph.D. in mathematics from University of Kentucky in 1991. My doctoral thesis is titled Regular triangulations of convex polytopes and d-cubes. I started working at Kentucky State University as an assistant professor of mathematics in 1991. The most exciting part of my career was when I proved the most difficult theorem of my thesis. The toughest barrier of my career was having no role model when I was a student and no female mentor when I started working.
