About
I’m a scholar in Composition-Rhetoric currently working as an Assistant Professor of Black, Race and Ethnic Studies in the English department at Queensborough Community College, CUNY.
I study Black literacy movements in the Southern United States. My research areas include Composition-Rhetoric and Writing Studies, Critical Pedagogy, and African American Studies.
I earned a Ph.D in Composition-Rhetoric in the Department of English from CUNY Graduate Center, where I also received an M.Phil in the same field. I also hold an M.A. in Africana Studies and a B.A. (Hons.) in English from the State University of New York at Albany. From 2020-2022, I was a Teaching and Learning Fellow at CUNY Graduate Center and before my current appointment, I was a substitute assistant professor of English and Vertical Writing at John Jay College of Criminal Justice, CUNY.
My work has appeared or will appear in The St. John’s University Humanities Review, the Journal of Feminist Modernist Studies, the Journal of African American Studies, Visible Pedagogy and The Journal of Basic Writing. For the 2024-2025 academic year, I was a Social Practice CUNY Faculty Fellow. I also serve as coordinator of the Black, Race and Ethnic Studies concentration at Queensborough Community College, CUNY and am a member of the editorial board for the Journal of Feminist Modernist Studies.
