Biography:
I am a racialized education scholar, researcher, daughter, sister, wife, mother, and a friend, who joined the University of Winnipeg in July 2024. As a first-generation Canadian citizen and as an uninvited guest, I find myself privileged to live, learn, teach, and raise my children in the ancestral lands of diverse Indigenous peoples of Canada. I have over two decades of experience in supporting diverse students’ learning in K-12 and higher education settings, and leading professional development of teachers, school leaders and faculty in Canada and wider international contexts. My interdisciplinary teaching and research focus on understanding the nature of science, critical analysis of curriculum, instruction and assessment, and engaging with multiple cultural ways of knowing to explore socially and ecologically-just, responsive pedagogies that may help invite (trans-multi) culturally responsive education as one way to respond to various dimensions of student diversity in contemporary classrooms.
