One of the best feelings is assigning an article for class written by a former student. I'm grateful to have been on your committee, @DrMHoff, and to have reviewed your award-winning dissertation! @DevEdTxSt@TXSTCOE@TXSTGradCollege Here's the article: https://t.co/7HGNEiqRTQ

I have a new article out in the Journal of College Reading and Learning! In it, I examine what gets overlooked when we too narrowly equate college readiness with language acquisition. @CIESLangSig@DevEdTxSt https://t.co/5Gbattx64l
Thank you @TXSTGradCollege for putting together a virtual commencement! And a special thanks to my dissertation chair @SonyaLArmstrong for making the ceremony extra special!
I'm quite disappointed to have two graduations canceled this year. But I am so grateful that I can look back to early March when I got to invite family and friends to my defense. And trust me, they took my defense very seriously.
I'm very excited to be joining the faculty of @collincollege this fall! I'm looking forward to being a part of a college that is dedicated to the students and community it serves. @DevEdTxSt
