About Me

I currently work as the Postdoctoral Research Associate at the University of Utah’s McCluskey Center for Violence Prevention. In my research, I center the experiences of minoritized individuals in higher education using power-conscious frameworks such as intersectionality. I also serve as an Adjunct Professor in California Lutheran University’s Department of Counselor Education. I am a trauma-informed yoga instructor and facilitate healing yoga programs and a variety of social justice trainings and workshops on college campuses and in the community.
