​My research examines how white adolescents within the United States develop their ethnic-racial identity and how this relates to anti-racist attitudes, actions, and commitments in white youth. I also study how processes and factors within U.S. school settings (i.e., teacher pedagogy, curricula, ethnic-racial socialization) support or hinder ethnic-racial identity development and anti-racist praxis.

I hold a Ph.D. in Education with a concentration in Human Development, Learning, and Teaching concentration from Harvard University, an Ed.M. in Prevention Science and Practice from the Harvard Graduate School of Education and a B.A. in History from Boston College with a minor in secondary education.
