My craft is asking difficult questions. I believe community-making and kinship drive the world for the better.
I'm a PhD-trained digital humanist focusing on design and infrastructure studies, experienced in higher ed work settings, communication, and teaching. Right now, I’m completing a cultural studies PhD in Spanish while working for the Scholars' Lab in Shannon Library at the University of Virginia.
