The most interesting problems don't sit in one discipline. She is drawn to long-term projects that expand how people relate to each other and to their environments. She is currently leading organizational development at the Davenport Community Land Trust and teaches at Humber Polytechnic. She holds an Master of Arts in Media Studies from The New School and a Master of Architecture from the University of Toronto. She is based in Toronto and open to work that requires moving between contexts. “The possibility of renewal draws on a simple fact that ordinary individuals are capable of creating new cultural patterns of commonality at any moment.”William Connolly, Neuropolitics: Thinking, Culture, Speed.

I create learning environments where architecture, media arts, and cultural studies converge, challenging students to think beyond traditional boundaries. Through hands-on projects, I encourage critical inquiry, technical expertise and the application of theory to real-world challenges. My classrooms enliven by embracing diverse fields such as the humanities, narrative inquiry, and experience design. I guide students toward ideas that are emergent, thoughtful, and just a bit mischievous— embracing a seriously light, and lightly serious mindset.&nbsp; &nbsp; Teaching Positions Higher Education Humber Polytechnic: Professor, Faculty of Media, Creative Arts and DesignUniversity of Toronto: Lead Lecturer, Film and Architecture Camp Community and Professional Education InterAccess: Learning Guides for CNC and Laser Cutting Fabrication Humber Polytechnic: Guest Lecturer, “Motion Design for LEO: Creating Natural Movement Through Performance Data“ University of Toronto: Undergraduate “How to Design Anything” Studio Guest Crit InterAccess: “Beyond Flat Maps” Workshop InstructorNew York Public Library: Engage Tutor Girls Write Now: Digital Media and Writing Mentor
