Research focus and motivation:
Interdisciplinarity of people experiencing disabilities, the complexities of aging, and discourses surrounding women in society. The women in my life and their experiences, specifically my mother and grandmothers, are at the heart of the work I do.

I am pursuing my PhD in fall 2025 at another institution, but I hope someday to teach or work within a university setting (maybe Brock again?) and keep doing what I love: teaching, learning, researching, and remaining highly curious!
