Now she works in higher education focusing on program development, accreditation and faculty development.

This will be achieved by increased culturally relevant education, advocacy, and program development.” After over 10 years in higher education, Dr. Cook’s mission has evolved to be: “Disrupting Higher Education systems by breaking barriers and walking in my authenticity.”
