Welcome to my website.

I am Postdoctoral Fellow and Executive Member at the Modern Literature and Culture (MLC) Research Centre at Toronto Metropolitan University (formerly Ryerson University). My research focuses on the cultural and aesthetic dimensions of power, politics, and social values in modernist and contemporary literature and media. I received my Ph.D. in Communication and Culture from York University.

I offer limited consulting services alongside my academic work, focusing on helping organizations understand norms, values, and change, as well as developing communication and leadership strategies and engaging stakeholders.
