About
Training and Education
I am an equity-centered Latina leader, relentless optimist, and higher education innovator with the goal of building stronger educational systems that support and value all students. Experienced in developing and implementing comprehensive systems to support a mission while leveraging data and evaluation to empower marginalized communities. Expertise centers on leading qualitative and quantitative analytical work to engage key stakeholders and create meaningful change.
I received my Ph.D. in Educational Psychology with a minor in Statistics/Research Methods and a second doctorate minor in Special Education from the University of Northern Colorado. I enjoy sharing my knowledge and experience as an educational consultant and in my spare time, I am an avid runner and love the ocean.
