Hello! I'm an Assistant Professor of Contemporary Art/Media Studies at Otis College of Art and Design where I specialize in art history and interdisciplinary studies. Recent courses include Visual Culture 1: Gateways to Art and Culture; Contemporary Art Survey; Theories and Trends in Contemporary Art, Media, and Culture; and Why Tomorrow?: Art Meets Punk in LA of the Seventies and Eighties. I received my Ph.D. in Art History in 2021 from The Graduate Center, CUNY, and I hold an M.A. in Art History from Hunter College, CUNY. I have previously taught the history of art and architecture at Los Angeles City College, San Francisco State University, SCI-Arc, Marywood University, Hunter College, Brooklyn College, and the Spitzer School of Architecture at City College. I was the Andrew W. Mellon Curatorial Fellow at Dia Art Foundation for 2016-17 and previously held administrative positions at Artists Space and the American Federation of Arts in New York City. I'm also the co-founder of 839, a contemporary art gallery located in Los Angeles, California.
