From a Red Raider to a Grizzly! I am beyond excited to be joining the Laboratory for Eating Disorders and Equity with @drmartinwagar.bsky.social and the incredible team at the University of Montana (@umontana.bsky.social) this fall as I begin my PhD in Clinical Psychology! 🐻🫶🏻

As a queer Tech alumni, I have NO words. Not only did our Hispanic serving status get removed, but now this. This is censorship and the start of removing academic freedom.

As a first-gen student and US citizen on one side, queer, & growing up in a low income family with a teen mom who dropped out of high school, there are no words to express this. Clawing up the ladder (while still holding so much privilege) is so hard, but imposter syndrome has nothing on me.

After a 1400+ mile drive consisting of a 7 hour uhaul breakdown and a flat truck tire, I have made it to Missoula! Boy this city does not disappoint in beauty and community. So happy to be a Griz :)
