I am an interdisciplinary educator and scholar at the intersections of ecojustice and ecofeminist pedagogies, environmental humanities, contemplative studies, and postcolonial studies. My research utilizes embodied, contemplative, and decolonial methods of inquiry to explore climate literacy, eco-identity development, contemplative practices as critical consciousness-raising, and broadly the relationships of education, society, and environment. 

I have worked as an educator since 2012 across public, private, community, and university classrooms as a teacher, administrator, and curriculum developer with attention to equity, justice, and inclusion. I draw from critically place-based, Indigenous land-based, ecofeminist, and antiracist teaching frameworks to shape my pedagogical practice. 

I am currently a Ph.D. Candidate in the Cultural Foundations of Education program at Syracuse University and hold a C.A.S. in Women and Gender Studies.
