I’m an Assistant Professor in the Department of Writing, Rhetoric, and American Cultures at Michigan State University. My research deals with film and video production, film studies, gender, race, immigration, and memoirs. For information about my publications and the courses I’ve taught, please visit my CV.
I am a documentary filmmaker. You can learn about my filmmaking work here. My current project is Vanishing Borders, a feature documentary telling the story of four immigrant women living in New York City. We are currently submitting the project to film festivals. Being a digital humanist, I work as an editor for two online spaces. You can also learn about my teaching philosophy and view samples of my students’ work.
