During my time in the program, I've had the opportunity to explore my research interests. My research interests focus on career/professional development, University Culture/Campus Ecology, faculty support, curriculum design, scaffolding student transitions, graduate student support, and ADHD in college women.

In Summer 2024, I was awarded an MSU School of Education Summer Research Development Fellowship (SRDF) to explore ADHD in women college students.

American Society for Higher Education (ASHE) is a scholarly association focused on research about and to improve higher education. It is a fairly small association compared to some other educational associations, such as NASPA and ACPA, because its focus is solely on higher education research. ASHE holds an annual conference in November. My first presentation at ASHE was in my second year of my PhD in the Fall of 2024.

"Inequity of technology in out-of-class assessments"
Abstract
We explore the inequities perpetuated by a techno-optimist view in relation to Learning Management Systems for out-of-class assignments and information exchange. In particular, we examine how International Adult Learners, holding the overlapping identities of adult learners and international students, may experience techno-optimism as a form of digital oppression.
