I am an assistant professor in the School of Information Sciences at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. Prior to this, I was a postdoctoral researcher at the Center for Archival Futures within the University of Maryland’s College of Information Studies. I received my PhD in Information Sciences from the University of South Carolina in 2021.

My research interests include critical information studies, embodied information practices, queer theory, diversity in cultural heritage spaces, and amateur media curation.  I am open to new research opportunities in emerging media, archives, and anything about reframing knowledge organization towards and from the lived experiences of historically marginalized identities. I also love talking about weird queer media artifacts so let me know if you have something in mind and we can talk about how it might fit for a collaboration or as part of the Formatting…Press project I work on with Ashley Blewer.

 I am trying to achieve cyborg status with little success.
