As a mathematics teacher educator, I support prospective and practicing K-8 teachers to transform their classrooms with equity-oriented practices that value young people as knowers and creators. My work as a practitioner-researcher embraces humanizing approaches to participatory research that center relationships of dignity and care.

I earned my PhD in mathematics education with a focus on teacher education at Michigan State University, where I was a National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellow and University Enrichment Fellow. I am currently an Assistant Professor of STEM Education at Fresno State.

Although I teach muggles in my day job, I also manage a YouTube channel, WizardPhD, focused on the mobile game Harry Potter: Wizards Unite. Feel free to follow me there for wizarding and muggle adventures!
