student. activist. pursuer of body liberation.
hello! kumusta!
I'm a school psychology doctoral candidate within the Department of Educational Psychology at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. I'm currently finishing up my predoctoral internship in Hilo, HI working in community mental health. I identify as a small-fat, biracial (Filipina+white), cisgender woman.
My roots are in rural Arkansas, but heart is scattered across Fayetteville, AR; Richmond, VA; Springfield, MO; Urbania, Italia; (especially) Madison, WI, & the Big Island of Hawai'i.
For fun, I love to cook without recipes, enjoy board games with my fabulous partner, tolerate our very cute cat (Catexander Hameowlton), dance like mad in group fitness classes, and consume a preposterous amount of audio media.
