I am a researcher, educator, and media maker based in Portland, Oregon. I have taught film and media studies, video production, urban studies, and environmental studies across the United States including Portland State University, the University of Pennsylvania, and New York University. I have written extensively about documentary film education; environmental transformations in Lagos, Nigeria; and the influence of ecological ideas in the field of media studies. While at Portland State, I was also active in the Higher Education in Prison Program, combining on campus classrooms with degree-seeking students inside of Coffee Creek Correctional Facility. In the summer of 2025, I was a visiting research fellow in Global Urban Coastal Cultures with the University of Miami Center for Global Black Studies. My video research has been published by the Australian Screen Production Education & Research Association, and my documentary films have screened at venues including the Rockaway Film Festival, the Block Museum at Northwestern University, and Batalha Centro de Cinema.
