At present, I am a Visiting Fellow in Educational Leadership at Boston College. I studied anthropology at UC Berkeley (B.A.), international and comparative education at Stanford University (M.A.), and educational leadership and policy at the University of Michigan (Ph.D.). Professionally, I have worked as both a K-12 teacher and an educational researcher across varied national contexts (i.e., France, Singapore, Canada, the United States).

My ethnographic and comparative research spans multiple levels: classroom practice, school- and system-level leadership, and the broader educational policy landscape. My scholarship focuses on system-level supports for marginalized youth, so that they are equipped with the necessary confidence and skills to uphold a more just, democratic society. As a teacher, I am most passionate about equipping the next generation of educators and educational scholars with the skills and reflexive mindsets they need to transform educational systems for justice. I teach courses to undergraduate (e.g., Reimagining School and Society), master’s (e.g., Educational Policy in Practice), and doctoral (e.g., Advanced Qualitative Research) students.
