You have to act as if it were possible to radically transform the world. And you have to do it all the time.

About Me
I am an Assistant Professor in the Foundations and Social Advocacy Department at the State University of New York College at Cortland (SUNY Cortland). My scholarship focuses on how schooling mechanisms afford or constrain academic and social opportunities for girls of color with disabilities (i.e., autism, cerebral palsy, deaf/blindness, intellectual disability, multiple disabilities) from their perspectives. I also study teacher preparation for culturally sustaining inclusive education and family-school-community partnerships with and for families from diverse backgrounds. Equity, justice, interconnectedness, and accessibility are at the heart of my work.
As you read and explore this website, my hope is that you will see how my beliefs and actions concerning research, teaching, and service integrally inform one another. I couple service and teaching with collaborative partnerships. I see research as an avenue for expanding and/or rupturing dominant ideologies by learning from, listening to, and following the lead of communities commonly un(der)represented.
All the images you see (unless I am in the photo itself) are my own.
