Academically, I explore the power structures of mass media, along with its impact on society and communication. As a professor, challenging and encouraging my students to become active, ethical consumers/producers of various media content often takes center stage in my classroom.

Creatively, film is my chosen medium – either through an experimental or a narrative lens. I find that a fusion of critical theory and hands-on practice are foundational to the learning process, both inside and out of a formal pedagogical space.
