"Success is liking yourself, liking what you do, and liking how you do it."

Brief Bio: I was born in Chicago but moved to rural Virginia when I was ten and lived there until 19. I attended four community colleges (Charlottesville, Va; Boston, MA; and 2 in Chicago, IL) until I enrolled in the University of Wisconsin-Madison. I graduated from UW in 2003 with a Bachelors in Economics and then received a Masters in Social Science from the University of Chicago. After my Master's degree I worked for the University of Wisconsin student union as their Multicultural Issues Director. In 2006 I continued my education in a PhD program in sociology at the University of Virginia; I was awarded graduate research stipends, a teaching assistantship, and a dissertation fellowship. I graduated in 2012. While at UVa I also was invested in multiple DEI issues including LGBTQ+ advocacy, reforming and responding to campus sexual assault education and policies, and working for the UVa Women's Center. In 2011, I began the campaign to create a holiday in honor of the civil rights icon, Ella Baker; more can be learned about that initiative at www.SupportEllaBakerDay.com. Since graduation, I have worked as a college professor, published multiple books and articles, served as a journal chief editor, and continued my investment in education and advocacy.
