SHORT BIOGRAPHY

Hometown: Dallas, TX

Learning about a “minority” cultural community is, to me, finding the parallels in my own minority experiences. Indeed, the more I know, the less I understand. My time in the Deaf Studies department has been the most meaningfully confusing time of my life.

My thesis was a documentary called “A Brutal Awakening” – a short insight into the life of a young Deaf transgender woman of color navigating through painful high school experiences and a hope for acceptance.


Research interests: Making theories and marginalized experiences accessible to the public through visual representations and discussions.


Professional Goals: Education for social justice, working with various marginalized youth communities, especially GLBT Deaf youth, towards getting their “voices heard” through film and other visual media.
