I identify as an American, was raised in a midwestern suburb by parents who immigrated from the Philippines and Mexico. I believe all people should be able to live, work, and learn in spaces that fully support their aspirations and welcome their differences.  Unfortunately, I’ve spoken to many people who have not felt supported or welcomed in our shared spaces. So, I’m on this committee to find ways to change the status quo so that all people can reach their potential. I believe that inclusion and unity can be improved through relationships and that equity and fairness can be improved through organizational policies and practices.

I want to serve on the EXSS DEI Committee to help assess existing and future policies, procedures, and practices (spoken and unspoken / written and unwritten) that create barriers to access and affect feelings of belonging or exclusiveness in our department, programs, and spaces. The goal being to create a department that prioritizes diversity, has equitable practices, and is inclusive, welcoming, and inviting to everyone regardless of their visible and invisible identities.

I’m an associate professor in EXSS and I joined the EXSS DEI committee when it was created in 2017 because I wanted to support efforts to address issues facing women in science and to promote a diverse, equitable, and inclusive environment for all students, faculty and staff in EXSS.  Through the work of this committee, we can ensure everyone feels welcome and valued so that they can succeed and thrive.
