Attending #AERA as a graduate student for the last time, I’m leaving with gratitude, courage, and hope. The community is stronger when we stick together. ❤️ See some of you at #SRCD25.

I’m going to give my FIRST talk ever at AERA tomorrow morning during a Div C symposium on parents’ academic socialization. Thinking about presenting the study closet to my heart to the audience to which I call academic family hypes me up! Come and find out what I’ve been working on!

Last week, I successfully defended my dissertation. My most sincere appreciation goes to my mentors, colleagues, friends, and family members. I have learned so much in this journey, but I feel even more excited about what I would learn from the journey ahead!
