I serve as Senior Lecturer and Director of the ASL program at Princeton University, where I teach courses in ASL, Deaf studies, and ASL literature. I'm also a Certified Deaf Interpreter and theatre interpreting consultant. I'm currently pursuing a PhD in Religion & Society at Princeton Theological Seminary, doing research in the areas of political theology and disability studies.
My work spans the classroom, stage, and screen—driven by a passion for critical theory, literature, theatre, and film. I've appeared in numerous theatre productions, performed poetry readings in festivals and venues across the country, and served as Director of Interpreters for Broadway shows. Recent accomplishments including having one of my poems featured in an exhibit at the Guggenheim and winning Sign Slam, an improv sign language poetry tournament hosted by ASL Slam at Bowery Poetry Club.
Whether translating, performing, or teaching, I'm drawn to sign language as a unique, beautiful, and powerful form of human expression.
