Welcome to my website!
Science is more than facts and formulas, it’s a story. I am a researcher, science educator, and storyteller exploring how science is communicated, learned, and experienced. From classrooms to botanic gardens, I investigate the narratives that shape science education and how students make sense of their identities within STEM. Starting May 2025, I will be a Postdoctoral Fellow at Chapman University.
