I bring an equity-conscious approach to the courses I teach and dissertation research I advise, building a lens for critical analysis and leadership in today's shifting higher education landscape. I encourage doctoral students to bring cultural wealth contributing their work and identity-based experiences to co-create our learning. My research engages this approach, coupled with authentic, qualitative methodologies.
