Currently in my home island of Guåhan collaborating in community with local CHamoru teachers and scholars to develop culturally relevant data science learning modules. Looking forward to classroom observations in the spring when teachers pilot the lessons!

Hi, BlueSky! I’m an associate professor at Vanderbilt University. My research examines how pedagogy in mathematics & STEM broadly must be transformed for racial & intersectional justice among minoritized undergraduate student populations. I’m also an avid listener to 90’s alternative and R&B music.

My dissertation and beginning research agenda focused on STEM teacher advocacy, which came about from my experiences as a #PAEMST awardee in 2014 and serving as an alumni liaison for the US Territories until 2022. Would also love to connect with other PAEMST awardees and finalists!
