The ink is digitally dry, so I can officially announce that as of July 1, 2023, I will be joining the NYU Tisch Department of Art and Public Policy as an Associate Professor! I’m going to be a Violet/Bobcat again!


Thank you to all the friends, mentors, colleagues, and family who helped me through this process. Thank you those rooting for me and thank you for those praying on my downfall.


To my friends at colleagues at St. John’s University past and present, thank you—the real ones only (you know who you are). I’m so proud of the work we did together. I’m so grateful for the incredible students I got to meet. I’m thankful for the friends I made on the way and people who revealed themselves as not-friends.


I can’t wait to turn up! Let’s celebrate all Spring and Summer!
