I am an interdisciplinary scholar at the intersections of education, society, and environment with interest to ecojustice and ecofeminist pedagogies, social justice pedagogies, contemplative learning, and decolonial practices. My research utilizes embodied, contemplative, and decolonial methods of inquiry to explore climate literacy, social justice pedagogy, and contemplative practices as critical consciousness-raising.

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, ecofeminist, and anti-racist teaching frameworks to shape my pedagogical and mentorship practices. 

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.
