About

I am a writer, educator, and PhD candidate in political theory at the University of Connecticut-Storrs. My research spans critical police and prison studies, race and gender politics, radical social movements, and global philosophies of liberation. Specifically, my dissertation examines crisis, state repression, and abolitionist organizing in the aftermath of the George Floyd Uprising. I have taught courses on the history of social and political thought, American politics, and political theory in film. I also love music, animals, spending time in nature, and I'm trying to become a better cook.
