Educator and Holmes Scholar
University of Nevada Las Vegas
Monique is a doctoral candidate in the Career and Technical Post-secondary and Higher Education tract at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. As a multidimensional activist and researcher with a unique academic flavor, Monique is a charismatic change agent. After working in top-tier magnet, International Baccalaureate, and nationwide informal STEM learning spaces for nearly 20 years, she has an intrinsic understanding of the meandering pathways to and through STEM education and careers. The suppression of the positionalities and funds of knowledge of marginalized communities of Black girls and gender-expansive persons occurs all too often. Monique’s research seeks to critically analyze input irregularities impacting the outcomes for Black girls and gender-expansive persons in STEM-centered pathways to diversify the talent pipeline. Monique leads by serving marginalized communities and empowering people and organizations to acknowledge the cultural capital and ways of knowing that can only come from the lived experiences across the Black diaspora. As a Holmes Scholar, Monique is proud to engage with like-minded Black female scholars and build social equity for future generations.
