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 fifth-year doctoral student in the School Psychology Program at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. 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 (pre-COVID) playing trombone in Madison’s activist street band (Forward! Marching Band).
