My research and passion have been focused on centering BIPOC youth and community through Youth Participatory Action Research. I had the honor of working with youth through community run non-profit organizations in Aurora, Colorado where I grew up before moving to Tucson. I am currently immersing myself within Black Feminist Theory in relation to Asian Critical Theory, Youth Studies and Aesthetics practices and to further my research and studies.
