As of June 2025, I have published 33 peer-reviewed journal articles (including multiple accepted for publication). Several additional manuscripts are under review, in revise and resubmit, and in progress. Prior to my graduate school years, I crafted 25+ newspaper articles about K-12 and higher education stories in the Phoenix area.
