Since 2016, I have taught a range of in-person and online courses including rhetoric and composition, business writing, technical writing, and writing in the humanities. I am actively incorporating AI-focused lessons into my courses, with a particular emphasis on the intersection of writing and ethics, to help students critically engage with constantly evolving tools.
In addition to my teaching, I have collaborated on academic research at institutions such as the Musée Guimet and the Institut national d’histoire de l’art with the late Anthony Cutler, Evan Pugh Professor Emeritus of Art History.
In April 2025, I was appointed to the Centre Region Parks and Recreation Authority Board.
