Celebrating the completion of my Ph.D. at Syracuse University.

I am delighted to celebrate receiving my Ph.D. in Social Science, with a concentration in Policy and Economics, from Syracuse University. My doctoral work examined how restorative justice, mental health, and support structures shape student outcomes.

This milestone reflects years of learning, research, teaching, collaboration, and the generous support of my mentors, colleagues, friends, and family. I am especially grateful to my dissertation committee—Prof. Sarah Hamersma, Prof. Ying Shi, and Prof. Maria Zhu—for their guidance throughout this journey.

I was also honored to receive Syracuse University’s Doctoral Prize and Outstanding Teaching Assistant Award. I look forward to carrying this work forward through research at the intersection of education, health, and public policy.
