About Me

I work at the intersection of geography, STS, and critical media studies, approaching my research with an interdisciplinary lens attuned to the technological mediation of human-environment relationships. I engage geographic thought as a creative and relational process, experimenting with a range of textual, analog and digital media practices to explore my relationships to space and place.

I’m a current PhD candidate at the University of Texas at Austin in the department of Geography & the Environment. I’m a third-year research fellow at the Border Tech Lab, an assistant director of the Digital Field Methods Institute and the Digital Writing and Research Lab, as well as a member of the Assemblies of Techno-solutionism Working Group, the Feminist Geography Collective and the Bureau for Experimental Ethnography.
