Welcome!

I’m so happy you’re here.

I am a Ph.D. Candidate in Rhetoric and Instructor of First-Year Writing at Carnegie Mellon University. I hold a J.D. from Georgetown University Law Center and am licensed to practice law in the District of Columbia. I have a decade of experience in interdisciplinary research and writing. My scholarship is situated at the intersections of law, rhetoric, narrative, race, and gender.

My current project examines the legal racialization and misrecognition of mixed heritage Americans. I also write about reproductive justice, epistemological possibilities, and hermeneutics.

Core questions inspiring my work are: How do institutions legitimize and naturalize hegemonic power through racializing and gendering discourse? What communicative strategies and mimetic processes are available to foster greater justice and collective liberation?

Beyond the archives, libraries, and office, I can be found in the woods and mountains, at coffee shops and museums, or on a playground.
