Mission Statement

To create an environment that gives space and opportunity for everyone to be themselves

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

Main content start

A multi-pronged approach is required to address the systematic exclusion that Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) and other minorities (e.g. LGBTQ+, ableness) have faced throughout the centuries. I seek to address DEI within the sciences by: 

  • Supporting inclusive research that involves community parnters in an equitable way
  • Providing career mentorship and guidance to students regardless of the path they choice to pursue
  • Creating explicit lab guidelines that outline lab expectations for all levels
  • Collaboration with the SDSS Diversity, Equity and Inclusion office in supporting their initiatives
  • Fostering an actively inclusive environment for developing and promoting underrepresented scientists
