She takes a critical, sociocultural approach in her work with minoritized youth and science teachers across in/formal settings. She focuses on how minoritized youth can be empowered in their STEM engagement and how such modes of empowerment, understood in terms of youths’ identity work in STEM and critical agency, can be mobilized across STEM-infused settings to position minoritized youth as capable and valuable members in STEM. Her current collaborative projects include working with minoritized youth in community-based makerspace settings at the Boys and Girls club and at a refugee-residential community center.
