Educator, Artist,

Teaching Instruction

I am a passionate, culturally responsive educator and interdisciplinary artist with a strong background in creative writing, media studies, and art‑technology. I have an MFA in Art & Technology, an MFA in Creative Writing, and a concentration in arts education. My teaching portfolio includes guest lectures, assistantships, and hands‑on workshops that blend theory with practice, preparing students to navigate evolving artistic and technological landscapes.

As founder and producer of the Ex Corpse Art Collective, I lead a vibrant queer collective that creates immersive live experiences and fosters inclusive community spaces. My art practice deeply informs my teaching instruction and enables me to produce engaging, vibrant learning materials in image + text, literary worldbuilding, prop design, and creative writing.

Video Production

My expertise in educational materials, a wide range of academic topics in upper division coursework, and experience in the digital humanities and Technoculture give you a leg up in producing quality educational materials that take scaffolding and UDL to the next level.

With nearly a decade of experience in live event production and independent / underground music video production, I produce affordable, fun videos that are ready to use on all social media platforms. My education and experience in mixed media, aesthetics, and prop design bring an added depth to your creative vision.

Creative Practice

I am a passionate interdisciplinary artist with a strong background in creative writing, media studies, and art‑technology with a strong interest in radical queer space making. As an outlet for these creative interests, I founded Queer X Events, a vibrant queer collective that creates immersive live experiences and fosters inclusive community spaces. As a collective we host drag shows in venues around Hollywood and at immersive themed festivals such as Neotropolis and Wasteland Weekend. My creative skills include designing props and costumes, writing and directing entertaining shows, and leading creative workshops for our members.
