Graduate Assistant
she/her/hers
I am an education enthusiast. I am passionate about advocating for marginalized communities and improving equity in education. I dedicate my work to helping underrepresented populations and use my research as a form of advocacy. As a graduate assistant for I4C, I support the RESET Project, a program aimed to support community building and retention of Black, Latina, and Native American women in computing. In my free time, I love participating in wellness activities, watching anime and traveling.
