I am a multimedia artist, art educator, and both a PhD candidate and an instructor in Art & Visual Culture Education at the University of Arizona. With over 10 years of experience working in non-profit museums, community spaces, and schools, I have developed and facilitated arts integration, multicultural curricula, and creative education programs for K-12 students, families, and pre-service teachers.

My current work focuses on exploring more-than-human and East Asian philosophy pedagogies in conjunction with collaborative, arts-based learning in both community and school environments. I am deeply committed to fostering community solidarity, and promoting interdisciplinary understanding through these educational initiatives.
