I'm a full-time doctoral lecturer of philosophy and interdisciplinary studies in the Department of Philosophy, History, and Anthropology in York College, which is part of the City University of New York. I teach both introductory and advanced undergraduate courses in the department, and bring my knowledge of feminist philosophy, critical philosophy of race, philosophy of science, and anticolonial philosophy to the classroom. The majority of my students at York are students of color, which I love, especially since philosophy has historically been unwelcoming to people of color and the knowledges they bring. I challenge and change this paradigm with each class I teach and each syllabus I design.

• Night School is a set of online, sliding scale classes in the arts and humanities, designed for curious adults, open to everyone

At Hotchkiss, I taught a sophomore course on American Literature and a junior yearlong self-designed elective on memory, trauma, and temporality rooted in contemporary psychiatric research about the nature of trauma, the philosophy of time, and the writings of Toni Morrison, Saidiya Hartman, and Édouard Glissant. I was motivated to design this course after the summer of May 2020 when George Floyd lost his life. I create classes that allow students to grapple with and think about critical contemporary issues in an environment where they feel supported and seen.
