• Research

    I believe that good research puts community first, leads with empathy, and encourages progress. My experience in qualitative research focuses broadly in areas of diversity, equity, and inclusion and utilizes methods such as text and content analysis, conducting semi-structured interviews, archival research and grounded theory. My professional research goals include leveraging consumer/stakeholder insights and data to enhance user loyalty and serve communities through design, planning, and innovation.

  • Communications & Content Management

    Compelling content drives the success of ideas and initiatives. I have professional and community experience in feature writing, interviewing, copywriting and editing, social media content creation, press releases and crafting public statements. My passion for communications is exemplified in corporate, academic and social spheres alike.

    Photography

    Impactful imagery conveys what words can’t. As a professional photographer of over 10 years, I have experience in feature, fashion, events, and portrait photography. Creating thought-provoking visual stories as a photojournalist was my first professional venture.

Research Design

My graduate research has focused primarily on topics concerning Indigenous peoples, collective identity, sustainability, and race and ethnicity. I recently completed my doctoral dissertation dealing with sociological theories on race and capitalism in higher education. I am interested in applying my research skills to collaborate with communities focused on diversity, equity, inclusion, and access through people-centered design, planning, and innovation.
