I was raised in South Florida, and then moved to Houston, Texas to complete my undergraduate degree in psychology at Rice University. While at Rice, I had the pleasure of working with Dr. Mikki Hebl and her graduate students on all topics related to diversity and discrimination in the workplace. I became extremely passionate about studying workplace discrimination, and thus I decided to continue my studies by joining the Industrial/Organizational doctoral program at George Mason University under the mentorship of Dr. Eden King.
While in the “Kingster” lab, I continued to conduct various research projects seeking to understand and remediate barriers faced by stigmatized employees. My experiences in graduate school fueled my passion for a career in academia in which I could continue to explore these and other important diversity-related questions. I am therefore extremely happy to have joined the I/O psychology department at Texas A&M University within the diversity sciences cluster in the Fall of 2016.
