Workspace ready to go for qualifying exams this week 📚 — the wall was ready for a new set of vinyl 😮‍💨

On April 18th, I had the honor to be a guest at the White House. Along with Cuban American leaders from across the country, we engaged White House leadership in discussions of U.S. policy toward Cuba, migration, education and labor. One of my first questions to Deputy Assistant

One of my absolute favorite collaborations. Loved learning, thinking, writing, and being in community with Eriq Felix and #SosanyaJones

Also can’t believe we started this study when I was pregnant with Baby X #1 (in 2020!) and it’s published as I await the arrival of Baby X #2

So wonderful to be on this PhD journey with you & to celebrate your growth - congrats sibling Armando Lizarraga, PhD Candidate! Armando Lizarraga 🎊

Con mis amores at #AERA2024 🫶🏼📚

Let me tell you for that being my first AERA, I am SO happy to be home and have a day of writing and rest…and of course some lifting to shake the travel off

Grateful for the time at AERA24 these past few days presenting some of the work that I’ve been fortunate to be apart of. Also it’s always a great time reconnecting with and meeting new people. Let’s keep grinding. Staring Week 3 of Spring quarter today 😬 #PhDLoading #AERA2024

I want to share a study that I had the privilege to publish with my wonder twin Patricia M. Virella, Ph.D.. We highlight how whiteness as niceness impeded school leaders' anti-racist change efforts.
