I am a licensed school counselor and education policy and leadership researcher interested in how we can create school systems that promote wellbeing for students, educators, and communities. I have worked in public schools as a school counselor and taught in an undergraduate teacher education program. I am currently working as a Graduate Research Assistant at the University of Minnesota.
