RESEARCH

My research centers the lived experiences of teachers of color through storytelling and portraiture. I am particularly interested in understanding how important literacy events impact educators' understandings of teaching and relationship building with students and students’ families. I am passionate about cultivating new generations of teachers grounded in culturally and linguistically sustaining pedagogies.
