Hello, and welcome to my personal website! While you are here, I hope you will find something of use to you. The pages here contain things that are of interest to me, as a disabled academic, pedagogue, and media maker. In August 2022, I received a Ph.D. in Arts, Technology, and Emerging Communication (ATEC) from the University of Texas at Dallas. I specialize in Critical Media Studies, Digital Media Cultures, Critical Disability Studies/Crip Theory, Disability Film Studies, and Critical Sexuality Studies.

In truth, this is specialized language to say that I think, write, and teach at the intersection of “disability and ...” Most often, disability and its intersections with technology, gender, race, and class. Disability is produced by and embedded in circuits of technoculture, and I am deeply interested in the ways that culture reinforces oppression through and onto disability. Yet, drawing from the richness of disability culture, and queer possibilities, I am equally invested in practices, pedagogies, and possibilities of joy. Or more simply, how to take disability seriously as an identity, politics, and expertise, allowing us to imagine more equal, just futures for all.

I am also a media maker/experimental artist. In my practice, I convey the lived experience of disability as its impacts, afterlives, and digital specters. I aim to elevate the richness of disability as a state of the “always already” and as never neutral. I hope this introduction to my work has piqued some interest, and please do get in touch if/when you feel so inspired!
