Teaching

At the Harvard Graduate School of Education, I was a Teaching Fellow (TF) for in-person and online courses on qualitative and participatory research methods, migration, and program evaluation. These include:

Researching in Community: Intergenerational Participatory Action Research for Educational Justice:* 2020-21 (online), 2021-22, 2022-23
Qualitative Research Methods in Practice:* spring 2023
Introduction to Qualitative Program and Policy Evaluation:* spring 2023
Migration and Urban Education: spring 2022

* = course engaged with school, government, and community partners

Before completing my doctorate, I worked as a college access mentor for first-generation/low-income (FGLI) students and as an independent college admissions consultant. I am also a FGLI graduate. My working-class background is also reflected in my teaching and mentoring practice.
