In my first year of the SUNY PRODiG Fellowship, I have already gained invaluable hands-on teaching experience through course design and delivery in multiple topics, with the right balance to also allow me to make progress on my research and dissertation. The faculty and staff at SUNY Brockport have been exceedingly friendly and supportive towards me, helping me to grow professionally while making me feel valued and honored to receive this opportunity.

SUNY PRODiG Fellow (2021-2023)
The SUNY PRODiG Fellowship has allowed me to return to my alma mater to complete my dissertation and teach classes emphasizing the importance of diversity, inclusion, and equity on campus. In addition, as a fellow, I have the unique opportunity to establish a foundation for introductory courses, design upper-level courses which align with my research and engage with students inside and outside of the classroom. Throughout this fellowship, faculty and staff have provided mentorship and support, ensuring I feel welcomed and appreciated on campus as a fellow.
