Research

Her current research focuses on (re)designing coursework to address equitable co-teaching models. Her additional lines of research are inspired by the technology as savior discourse (i.e., the idea that technology will dissolve, if not completely eradicate, inequities in education) and teacher identity discourse. As a scholar, she is also dedicated to research that cultivates a robust understanding of diversity, equity, and social justice within communities and classrooms.
