Minneapolis, MN

Researched gender, race & politics from a global and intersectional feminist perspective. Re-imagined digital influences supporting organic social movement. Studied creative literature, music and art forms that created educational / systems-level change, with a particular focus on the post-2000s social media and digital communications boom. Learning that social movements had self-publishing power through nuanced digital technology (i.,e., social media), set the tone for my career to follow.
