Welcome!

A little about me...

After completing my K-12 teacher training and with 5 years of experience in the field, I continued onto my Masters and Doctoral degrees at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education at the University of Toronto. I graduated from the PhD program at OISE in March 2019. My PhD research focused on the ways racialized and Indigenous women negotiated their subjectivities (identities) when reading anti-colonial fiction in a book club.

From April 2019  to March 2024, I taught at Okayama University in the Bachelor of Education and Master of Education degree programs in the Graduate School of Education in the Department of English Language Teaching, and from 2020 to 2024 I also taught in the Doctoral degree program in the Graduate School of Humanities and Social Sciences with a focus on anti-oppressive global citizenship education. In the Department of English Language Teaching, I specialized in intersectional social issues and teaching methods courses, where pre-service and in-service teachers explored their role in anti-oppressive language education and research.

Since September 2024, I began teaching in the School of Education and Childhood Studies at Capilano University. I am working with pre-service educators who are learning to become early childhood educators, with a focus on critical social justice in education and reconceptualist curriculum theories.
