Ed.D. Student, Adult Ed Guided Intensive Study (AEGIS)

Research Discipline/Bio

I am a leadership designer, coach, and facilitator with over a decade of experience in non-profits. In my work, I design transformative programs that center historically marginalized voices and challenge conventional power structures. As a doctoral student in the AEGIS Program at Teachers College, Columbia University, I research nontraditional leadership paradigms and their intersection with movements for social change.

My research examines how leaders from diverse backgrounds navigate and transform institutional spaces while maintaining an authentic leadership style. As both practitioner and researcher, I combine academic inquiry with real-world application, grounded in the belief that effective leadership development must actively challenge systemic inequities and existing power structures to create lasting social impact.
