Community Engagement

My research deeply engages with how adolescents construct identities and connect with each other and their communities through storytelling. I work with sociolinguistic discourse analysis. I support an adolescent literacy project in Northern Virginia as a mentor. Additionally, I am an advocate for community arts,  multilingual learners, and antiracist education and government. I have published articles for broader audiences in the following publications:
