Graduate - Doctoral Candidate 

I am a doctoral student in the UA’s Center for the Study of Higher Education on the research track. I intend to focus my investigations primarily on student-related issues. To date, I have studied the college-going experience of students of color, the resilient nature of African-American and Latino students, and the influence of spirituality on students’ academic and professional aspirations. My training at Sonoran UCEDD has provided me with a broader knowledge of issues affecting those with developmental disabilities, which enables me to more critically analyze and interpret the experiences of students with disabilities.
