I was just notified of my promotion to Associate Research Professor here at the University of Arizona. It's career-track, but as a first-generation college student who couldn't get into college out of high school, worked at a mall, and went to community college, this feels good.

You may not have all the answers, and that’s okay. Stay curious, keep asking questions, and keep learning.
Determination can take you places you’ve never been before. 💙

White collar comfort zone + Blue collar comfort zone = a broader comfort zone.

As #ai threatens more #whitecollar work, more people from #bluecollae backgrounds are thankful for their “lower skill” work. This is an interesting twist on my research findings from 2018, that a working-class background is stigmatized in professional settings

This podcast provides a wonderful oral history of FirstGen lived experiences.
It nicely shows how all FirstGen lives are different, but have in common that pioneering mindset of figuring it all out with minimal or no guidance.

New folks here may not be aware:
Our family helps support a former foster-kid who is a first generation college student - she is now in her sophomore year, and not only thriving, but extending that support to other first gen students.
Please help us keep her in school if you can!

Grateful to colleagues who devoted extra time to evaluate my impact in research and pedagogy - and to all in my community who mentored me to see this day. (And a year early, at that!) #firstgen

As a first gen student who self funded her PhD whilst working, it's moments like these that hit home how far I've come. I'm reading a chapter for a reading group on paid time. I'm not fitting it in on the commute to my day job. I'm reading it as my job. Wow! #AcademicSky #FirstGen #LittleThings
