Bio

I am an Assistant Professor of Music at Harper College. I earned my PhD from the University of California San Diego Music (Integrative Studies) in 2019. My research explores the history of the voice in drag performance and emphasizes the role transgender women have played in drag communities. I specialize in community-invested research which adopts a human-centred approach and prioritizes knowledge mobilization.
