Teaching
My courses contribute to Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies (WGSS), African American Studies, Health Humanities, and Disability Studies.
​
I am passionate about mentoring students who are first-generation, English Language Learners, POC, women-identifying, queer, disabled, etc. to conduct their own research, present at conferences, and publish.
​
My courses are designed to equip students to apply academic scholarship to embodied, contextual concerns. Together our classroom community nurtures curiosity and compassion.
