ABOUT ME
I am a dedicated researcher and educator pursuing a Ph.D. at the Stanford University Graduate School of Education, focusing on teacher education and literacy. I am broadly interested in equitable literacy practices for secondary students and in improving the teacher education pipeline. I study how we can integrate foundational reading and writing skills across the secondary curriculum so that the full genius of students can be realized.
​
In my spare time, I love being in nature, making music, and cooking with friends and family - especially with my 2 year old daughter and 4 year old dogter, Juniper.
