teacher, scholar, photographer

Hello/Hola,

I am a teacher-scholar-photographer based in Connecticut. Specifically, I look at the intersections between photography, literature, and cinema, with attention paid to the porous divisions between nonfiction and fiction. My recent works focus on cinematic technique and evolving documentary practices within the context of recent Mexican history. I hold a BA from New York University and a PhD from the Graduate Center, CUNY. I have worked in a variety of teaching and research positions at the collegiate and secondary levels.

In addition to my academic work, I am a photographer. My photography practice is informed by the movement, colors, and moods of nature. When photographing people, I am drawn to the events, memories, and bonds that bring us together.

My interests in researching, archiving, and the afterlives of objects and images have led to a growing analog camera and typewriter collection. You can see my vintage collection here.
