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 (2022) in the Department of English at 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.

I was a Teaching and Learning Fellow at CUNY’s Graduate Center from 2020-22. For the 2024-25 academic year, I will be a Social Practice CUNY Fellow. I also serve as coordinator of the Black, Race and Ethnic Studies concentration at Queensborough Community College, CUNY.
