I am a writer, emerging curator, and fourth-year art and visual culture PhD candidate at the Department of Visual Arts at Western University. I study ancient and indigenous civilizations and the manifestation of astronomical understanding within their art and architecture. I’m focused on exploring the stories of groups marginalized by Eurocentric ideologies. I then juxtapose the worldviews of these groups with current scientific and epistemological models in the context of the Anthropocene. I am also working toward implementing new pedagogical methods in the classroom to integrate these worldviews through an interdisciplinary and decolonial lens!

Beyond academia, I have been involved in curatorial projects, including exhibitions like In the Heart of the Bronze: A Liu Shiming Experience and of many worlds in this world, both featured at Western’s artLAB Gallery. I also host the Ecologies in Practice podcast series, a project dedicated to exploring the intersections of art, sustainability, and environmental justice. Through in-depth conversations with artists, curators, environmental activists, and scholars, the podcast unpacks how creative practices can respond to urgent ecological crises.
