About
My passions are centered on service and social justice. This is the core essence of who I am and what I try to accomplish every day. I strive to disrupt the system, undo racism, and create social change. I am an educator: facilitating experiences for folks to have "aha!" moments that show them the complexity of the world we live in.
I am currently an Interim Associate Director in Residential Life and a doctoral student in Educational Leadership at UCLA. I am an alumna of Fordham University, Rutgers University, and a Former Jesuit Volunteer.
