Biography, Education and Training
I graduated Summa Cum Laude from Lock Haven University of Pennsylvania in December 2016 with a B.A. in Political Science and Spanish, with a minor in International Relations.
For my dissertation, I explore feminist leadership, girlhood, and community-based education in the global Black imaginary. My qualitative, participatory action research is in collaboration with community-based organizations in Baltimore and Oakland and spans the U.S. South, the African continent, Latin America, and the Caribbean.
I am currently serving as the P2R Lead Mentor
I stand in solidarity with the COLA campaign.
