Introduction

My interests lie with how communication and social interaction work to create, maintain, and perpetuate community and culture whether online or off. I am particularly interested in queer studies, Latinx studies, popular culture, the rhetoric of identity and alterity, performance studies, and Internet studies. My other interests include public memory and the social construction of language and meaning.

Bio

My interests lie with how communication and social interaction work to create, maintain, and perpetuate community and culture whether online or off.

I am a scholar, artist, playwright, theatre producer, performer, and educator. I have performed all over the United States in venues such as the Nuyorican Poets Café, the Tilles Center for the Performing Arts and Highways Performance Space. I studied theatre and film at Yale University, and I earned my M.A. in Media Studies at Long Island University. I completed all the coursework to earn the M.A. in Strategic Communication from Regent University and plan to do the final project in 2023. I am a second-year doctoral student at Texas A&M. I was raised in California. I lived in New York City for 18 years before crash landing in Bryan-College Station in July of 2021. My trusty companion is a miniature schnauzer named Scout.
