As a researcher, my skills lie in finding patterns across diffuse materials and explaining them to others. My work is informed by studying the ways and reasons people access, popularize and recur certain media while necessitating the technology of its subsequent virtualizations. In a dissertation format, I used years of on-site and archival investigation abroad to decode pendular revivals in media and communications technology for the aesthetic marks they leave on cultures of globalization and transoceanic commerce. • Research expertise in cultural media archeology; media and technology; aesthetics • Doctoral-level research training in mixed methodologies (qualitative, quantitative, interviews) • Fourteen years living and working across Latin America, Caribbean and Europe
