After a complete rewrite, I have passed my oral preliminary exams!!! As a first-generation doctoral student, this feels fake. I am currently waiting for my committee to come back and say, "Just kidding!"

We’re excited for our keynotes: Dr. Miranda Walichowski & Dr. Jasmine Austin!

Y’all! The stress of prelims has my skin doing all kinds of funky stuff. 😩

Thrilled to join the New Professionals and Graduate Student Review Board for the Journal of Women and Gender in Higher Education, class of 2028! Can't wait to embark on this incredible journey! #RoadToDraCastillo

What better way to start my #2024ASHE conference than to present with my favorite folks in @tamuresi.bsky.social for the pre-conference?
