As a curator and academic, my work applies trans and crip theoretical frameworks to art, visual culture, and material culture. Before joining the Center for Design & Material Culture as the engagement manager, I worked at the center as a graduate student on curatorial and deaccessions projects. I have curated several exhibitions, including “Gender Euphoria: Contemporary Art Beyond the Binary” at Five Oaks Museum.
I am excited to build and strengthen connections across campus and among communities through exhibitions.
