About Me

Background I received my doctorate in Gender, Feminist and Women's Studies from York University, under the supervision of Prof. Eva Karpinski. After earning my MA at Simon Fraser University, I worked in public service before returning to York University to complete my doctoral studies in queer discourse and cultural analysis. 

Teaching Philosophy  My pedagogy is a feminist project that prioritizes relationality as a political value. I aim to promote emotional, relational and intellectual reflexivity as a critical method for enacting decolonial feminist praxis. 

Consulting I offer my expertise at the intersection of public service and critical analysis to consult on interdisciplinary projects and engage in committee work. I recently served as a member of the LGBTQ Advisory Committee in the Division of Seniors Services and Long Term Care at the City of Toronto, advising on education and training development and design. In my current role as Supervisor for the Grey Bruce Local Immigration Partnership, I draw on my experience in Research, Education and Strategic Initiatives leadership to convene a partnership council of community stakeholders. I also serve as a member of the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Committee at the County of Bruce.
