Learning scientist | STEAM educator | Comic artist | Illustrator

I am a currently an Assistant Professor/Faculty Fellow of NYU's Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development in the Department of Administration, Leadership, and Technology. As part of New York University Provost’s Postdoctoral Fellowship Program, I am mentored by Dr. Kayla DesPortes (see more here). 

About

I have been a published comic artist and illustrator for almost two decades, during which I taught 8th grade physical science and worked as a program coordinator for the girls-centered STEM education nonprofit, Techbridge Girls.

I earned a PhD in 2023 from the Teaching, Learning, and Leadership Division of the Graduate School of Education at University of Pennsylvania. I design, implement, and study STEAM learning experiences that use interdisciplinary technologies to support identity authorship, creative expression and voice, and speculative literacy and design practices among Black and Brown youth, particularly Black girls.
