As an Academic Dean and Department Chair, Dr. Williams-Jerrolds has directed undergraduate and graduate programs in engineering and the hard sciences.

Since 2011, she has also served as an Adjunct Professor at many nearby California colleges.  In response to the underrepresentation of underrepresented groups in engineering and science at the K–12 and collegiate levels, as well as her expertise in graphene for sustainability as it relates to green chemistry, Dr. Williams-Jerrolds, a woman-owned, minority business owner, founded ADee Technologies.

Her business is committed to encouraging professions in math, science, and engineering as well as igniting the enthusiasm of the next generation of engineers and scientists.
