Ph.D Candidate in Nursing Science and Health Care Leadership with D.E. in Feminist Theory and Research

My dissertation:  Institutional ethnography:  An inquiry into California early start, special education providers’ work within the collaborative organization of care systems.

My dissertation focused on a feminist view of institutional policies that reify persistent inequalities to access and outcomes for children and their families. 

Outside of my academic pursuits, I enjoy time with my family including my "four legged”, rambunctious, fun, and super smart people.
