Identities

Research interests

Through my own experiences and through my professional background in higher education, my aim is consistently centered on expanding post-secondary access for students that don’t believe it’s the path for them. I’m still learning a lot about this work and my place within it, but I am fully open to take in all experiences for the betterment of others. Also interested in social inequity in U.S. higher education and its relation to common core curricula.
