My formal introduction would go as follows:I am a qualitative education researcher with a PhD in Educational Psychology from the University of Texas at Austin, focusing on disabled student success, accessibility, and equity in higher education. My work uses an intersectional lens to understand how students navigate complex institutional systems and how overlapping identities shape their experiences and outcomes. I translate these insights into research-informed strategies that support more inclusive learning environments. In addition to my research, I have experience in social media strategy, community engagement, and freelance writing, where I create accessible content in order to foster meaningful dialogue and amplify underrepresented perspectives from the chronic illness community. 

My informal introduction goes as follows: I am just a human trying to figure out this life one day at a time. Like most people, I aim to be as unapologetically myself as possible each and every day. I am an avid lover of sharks, cats, and clothes. I don’t know what each moment will bring forth, but I will thrive through it all with my loved ones by my side. And above all, I am just a girl 💜
