I'm happy to share that my article on #StudentParents during the COVID-19 pandemic, co-authored with Alyssa Stefanese Yates, is available ahead of print in the Review of Higher Education.

Student-mothers in our study relied primarily on their women-centered networks to successfully navigate the pandemic.

#Introduction

I'm an associate professor of higher education at the University at Buffalo. I'm a gender and organizational scholar who focuses on work/life issues for faculty, staff, and students. My two major lines of research focus on 1) dismantling ideal worker norms for staff and faculty and 2) understanding how federal policy and campus culture shape student-parents' success.

I love me a good latte, witty memes, and my children (not in that order.)
