Her work later shifted toward environmental and science education in Costa Rica. She also worked as an elementary science teacher and STEM lab coordinator.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Those experiences changed how she viewed science and inspired her to study how students learn, participate and come to see themselves as people who belong in STEM. Her interest became especially personal as she watched her daughter pursue computer science and enter a doctoral program in bioinformatics, a field in which women remain underrepresented.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">\u201cBecoming a scientist is not only about developing knowledge and technical skills,\u201d Quir\u00f3s-Arauz said. \u201cIt is also about finding communities, relationships and environments that allow a person to imagine and sustain a place for themselves in science.\u201d<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335551550&quot;:0,&quot;335551620&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Walking Alongside Latinas in STEM<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335551550&quot;:0,&quot;335551620&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Her dissertation proposal,<\/span><b><span data-contrast=\"none\"> \u201cReimagining Science Identity Development Through Acompa\u00f1amiento and Community: A Participatory Action Research Study With Latinas in STEM,\u201d<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"none\"> examines how Latina undergraduate students build and sustain their identities within academic STEM environments.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">The study will use critical participatory action research, allowing students to participate as co-researchers, reflect on their experiences and identify issues that matter to them. Central to the study is acompa\u00f1amiento, or the idea of walking alongside one another. Quir\u00f3s-Arauz hopes to understand how relationships, collective participation and culturally grounded support contribute to students\u2019 identity, belonging, agency and leadership in STEM.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">The fellowship will provide additional time for building relationships with participants, facilitating collaborative activities, analyzing data and writing her dissertation.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335551550&quot;:0,&quot;335551620&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Supported Through Mentorship<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335551550&quot;:0,&quot;335551620&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Quir\u00f3s-Arauz credits her dissertation chair, Lilia Monz\u00f3, and co-chair, Doug Havard, with helping her strengthen the theoretical, methodological and ethical foundations of her research.
