Always reading, writing, and learning about people and our social environments. I use my community knowledge to deconstruct and reconstruct ways of thinking related to underrepresented students in both K-12 and higher education. I'm looking to merge my academic and community work to build upon transformative educational practices and create a better future for student and human welfare. Writing keeps me motivated, stories keep me alive.Want to suggest reading? Promote youth work? Talk about Rick Riordan? Send me a message; I'd love to connect!
