About
Dr. Tilisa Thibodeaux is an emerging scholar whose research focuses on STEM education, career pathways, and the experiential factors that shape students’ academic and professional trajectories. Her most cited work, "Student perceptions of STEM camp experience and STEM career pathways: a mixed methods study," employs a rigorous mixed-methods approach to investigate how industry-focused STEM camps influence students’ familiarity with post-secondary education and their interest in pursuing STEM careers. This study addresses a critical gap in the literature, which often overlooks the role of hands-on, immersive experiences in fostering long-term STEM engagement. By centering student voices and perceptions, Dr. Thibodeaux provides actionable insights for educators and policymakers seeking to diversify and strengthen the STEM pipeline. Though early in her career, her work has already garnered attention for its practical implications and methodological depth. Dr. Thibodeaux’s research is particularly valuable for understanding how targeted interventions can bridge the gap between K-12 education and STEM career readiness, making her a promising voice in the field of educational research and career development.
