PhD comes from the twin island state of Trinidad & Tobago where she taught undergraduate Biochemistry and Biology for several years. Recently, she graduated from the Learning and Developmental Sciences program at Indiana University, with an emphasis in STEM Learning and Human Computer Interaction and Design. Her research spans the exploration of learning experiences of women in STEM, diversity, equity and inclusion in STEM and the mental health and well-being of women of colour in STEM. In addition to this, her research incapsulates the design and development of equitable assessments, equitable participation in STEM as well as, the design and creation of STEM simulations and dashboards, reflecting representation within STEM. Her various research and mentoring efforts, illustrate the voices of black and brown women, highlighting their counter-narratives, and building a community of support, (re)imagining the future of STEM to be an equitable learning environment for all students.
