Her work integrates critical race theory with human rights frameworks to challenge systemic inequities across educational settings.

Recent publications (2021-2024) reveal consistent focus on dismantling racial hierarchies in diverse contexts—from science classrooms to cafeteria dynamics—with recurring themes of community building, whiteness deconstruction, and participatory action research methodologies. Her scholarship bridges theoretical rigor with practical classroom applications for racial justice.
