Biography

My interest in educational research and social justice stems from my own experiences in under-resourced public schools, my upbringing within a multi-racial activist household, and my involvement with the justice system as a youth. I am a multi-disciplinary scholar focused on university-community engagement, graduate student socialization and civil rights in schools. With over twenty-five years of experience in public education—as a teacher, non-profit leader, and program evaluator, I bring a rich understanding of the relationship between educational research and practice.
