I am a Ph.D candidate in political theory at the University of British Columbia with broad interests in gender and sexuality, intersectionality, critical theory, and environmental justice. My dissertation explores trans joy as part of a radical queer and trans politics, as well as the joyful politics of queer and trans zines.

As a researcher and educator, I am passionate about fostering inclusive, accessible learning spaces through creative, collaborative, and anti-oppressive facilitation and pedagogy. These values extend into my personal and community life, and you can frequently find me volunteering at Spartacus Books or local LGBTQ+ events.

Originally from the Northeast United States, I moved to Vancouver in 2019 with my beloved cat, Tiana. Prior to moving here, I completed degrees in the U.K. and U.S. and worked as a full-time community organizer in Philadelphia. When I’m not buried in work and organizing, I can be found wandering the city, making art, and consuming media about media.
