I am a writer, researcher, curator, and teacher living in New York City. I’ve taught classes in Visual Culture and Design Research methodologies at Parsons School of Design | The New School since 2020 and supported writing and research in the Architecture Studio thesis courses at Pratt Institute as Visiting Assistant Professor.
I’m currently Associate Director, Operations in the School of Design Strategies at Parsons School of Design. From 2018-2022 I was Program Administrator in support of the History of Design and Curatorial MA Program — a partnership between the Cooper Hewitt Smithsonian Design Museum and Parsons.
My creative practice is rooted in a dialogue between memory, place, and the act of preservation. I am drawn to the ways in which personal and collective stories are held within landscapes, objects, and ephemeral moments through writing, research and archival work.
I believe that research is by one definition: an evolving process of ideation that invites new narratives and possibilities, and by another definition: the sharing of found knowledge through the public and participatory acts of teaching, curating, and writing. The work I choose to do sits at the intersection of care and discovery and that’s why it resonates with me.
