JEDI principles are not just an aspect of my work but rather a core to my identity and mission as an academic and human being. My passion lies in championing, uplifting, and empowering fellow URMs to embrace and leverage their backgrounds and identities - particularly those that have been historically marginalized within the academy - reframing them as sources of power rather than barriers. I believe these aspects not only enrich and reinvigorate the academic environment but also pave the way for greater inclusivity and diversity.
