My educational journey began with a passion for the arts: trained as a professional dancer, and working with visual media (video and photography), I dedicated myself for over ten years to experimenting with embodied and aesthetic modes of creation. Entering the field of education in 2018, a newfound enthusiasm for theory and research became an integral part of this journey. After graduating with an MSc in Educational Studies at the University of Glasgow (with Distinction), I was awarded a Graduate Teaching Studentship at Maynooth University in 2019, where I began my doctoral work exploring the educational significance of death in the context of a rapidly and unevenly changing planet. I recently defended my PhD, a milestone that deepened my engagement with questions at the intersection of philosophy of education, critical posthumanism, queer death studies, environmental humanities, art, and aesthetics. I will carry these research interests into a postdoctoral fellowship funded by the Fonds de Recherche du Québec - Société et culture (FRQSC) at the Université du Québec à Chicoutimi, where I will investigate death education in the Anthropocene at the secondary school level. 

I am also currently the project coordinator for Dance Against Violence, a Montreal-based sociocultural project, where I am able to apply and further explore these interdisciplinary interests in the context of social justice and embodied practices. I also serve as a Program Committee member at Rocket Science Room, a DIY arts/cultural space that hosts concerts, lectures, readings, talks, performances, and more.
