Stephanie (she/her) is a half-Filipina, extroverted, fat, passionate, cisgender, podcast-obsessed daughter of an immigrant who grew up in rural Arkansas. She is also a sixth-year school psychology doctoral student in the University of Wisconsin–Madison, currently completing her predoctoral internship at a community mental health center on the Big Island of Hawai’i.. Stephanie’s research interests center around social justice (especially its inclusion and cultivation in schools), culturally responsive practice, intersectionality, body image, and weight bias. She is fascinated by how the intersection of weight status, heritage/culture, race, socioeconomic status, and gender impact the mental health and wellbeing of young people, and she hopes to advance the understanding of these topics within the field of school psychology. In her spare time, Stephanie can be found cooking without recipes or consuming preposterous amounts of audio media.
