About me

My praxis spans many disciplines to explore the complexities of human relationships. I engage with the felt, social, and structural dynamics that shape interpersonal entanglements where care, intimacy, and love exist alongside conflict, harm, and violence. By examining these experiences, I seek to understand individual feelings and the broader historical, cultural, and systemic forces that produce and sustain them as habits. My praxis is guided by a commitment to collective remembering, foregrounding the relational and affective dimensions of shared experience to reveal and reclaim already existing just and meaningful ways of being together.

I have contributed to academic, archival, artistic, and charitable research projects exploring the intersections of education, health, housing, technology, and the environment. In these spaces, I have worked with children, young people, and elders to address social inequities, experiences of exclusion, intergenerational dynamics, and systemic harm.
