I situate my teaching and scholarship within critical and feminist studies of social inequality. I’m committed to complicating and deepening understandings of diversity and social justice through interdisciplinary and intersectional approaches to research and practice.
Teaching Areas: Critical Social Work, Social Justice, Qualitative Inquiry, Intimate Partner Violence, Motivational Interviewing
Co-Editor in Chief, Affilia: Journal of Women and Social Work
Personal Interests
I've been swimming competitively since I was 8 years old. I like big bodies of open water and I'm pretty scared of sharks. My latest passion is stand up paddle boarding and I'm a bit wild for the big winds and big waves on the Columbia River.
