Originally from Aotearoa/New Zealand,
I am Assistant Professor of Art History in the Department of Art at Jackson State University, in Jackson, Mississippi.
My research interests are diverse, with scholarship often investigating the intersection of art and technology, including electric light, new media, and generative AI.

When not researching and teaching you can find me working on projects for the Black Digital Humanities Lab, Mississippi AI Collaborative,
or Journal of Art & Theatre.

My mission as a teacher is to inspire, challenge, and support students in their journey through art history. I aim to create a learning environment that fosters critical thinking and encourages diverse perspectives. My teaching philosophy revolves around engaging students in meaningful discussions, encouraging them to explore a wide variety of art and visual culture, and providing them with the methodological tools for in-depth analysis. My goal is to ensure that all students feel valued and empowered to pursue their academic, artistic, and personal aspirations.
