My commitment to stories that address inequality is what brought me to teaching. I seek to empower historically underrepresented and economically disadvantaged students by ensuring they see themselves reflected in my course content. I prioritize readings and media examples from women, Black, Indigenous, and other people of color, selecting modern and relevant works to keep the material both engaging and supportive.

When teaching media production, I emphasize storytelling techniques that are accessible to all students, regardless of their economic background or access to equipment. While I provide thorough technical instruction, my priority is to ensure students apply these skills creatively, using whatever tools they have. This approach prepares them to tell meaningful stories without feeling limited by financial or technological constraints.

The gender gap in media production technology mirrors that in traditional STEM fields, limiting women’s opportunities in advanced technical roles. Mentoring female-identifying and non-binary students is therefore a key priority for me.

I bring enthusiasm to every class, balancing well-researched material with a lighthearted, student-centered approach. My goal is to empower every student with the creative confidence and skills to break barriers, tell their stories, and shape the world around them.
