With a deep passion for understanding the power dynamics of public rhetoric, I explore the intersectionality of race, gender, and affect. My interdisciplinary approach draws from gender studies, critical race studies, queer of color studies, media studies, and rhetorical studies to delve into the affective dynamics of public culture, resistance, and social change.

In my role as an educator, I am dedicated to creating an inclusive and empowering learning environment. By prioritizing the experiences and voices of marginalized groups, I equip my students with the skills to critically analyze and reimagine inequitable cultural practices. Through experiential learning and the integration of digital media, I engage students in meaningful discussions and encourage the practical application of course concepts in their everyday lives.

Recognized for my excellence in teaching, I am honored to have received the Outstanding Graduate Student Teacher award. Going beyond the confines of the classroom, I actively support students through workshops and collaborative projects. My research has been published in Critical Studies in Media Communication, Rhetoric and Public Affairs, M/C Journal, and WSQ: Women's Studies Quarterly.
