Profile

I grew up in California and worked briefly in postproduction and archiving before pursuing graduate school in cinema studies. I have been teaching film history and theory since 2014 and regularly offer classes on animation, science fiction, and nontheatrical film. I am also interested in questions about pedagogical innovation in cinema studies. As an extension of my teaching and research, I have served on the Executive Committee of Domitor, the International Society for the Study of Early Cinema, and am currently Associate Editor at Animation: An Interdisciplinary Journal.
