I am a PhD candidate in Art and Architectural History at the Institute of Fine Arts, NYU. My dissertation examines the relationship between visual culture, material technologies, and international institutions in the formation of modern conceptions of cultural heritage. Focusing on France in the 1920s and 1930s, it situates these developments within the broader history of liberal internationalism.

I currently hold the 2026-27 Georges Lurcy Charitable and Educational Trust Fellowship and am a 2026-27 pensionnaire étrangère at the École normale supérieure-PSL (Ulm). My work has also received support from NYU’s Remarque Institute, the Alpine Foundation, the Helen Frankenthaler Foundation, the DAAD, and the NYU Provost's Global Research Initiatives program, among others.

In 2023-24, I was an invited doctoral scholar at the HiCSA Research Centre at Université Paris 1 Panthéon Sorbonne. I am a 2022-23 alumna of the Interdisciplinary Art and Theory Program in New York, run by Meleko Mokgosi, and a 2021-22 participant in MoMA’s Mellon-Marron Research Consortium Study Sessions. At NYU, I served for two years on the editorial board of Lapis: The Journal of the Institute of Fine Arts.

Before coming to NYU, I spent four years in Australia working with curator Barbara Flynn at the intersection of contemporary art and architecture on permanent, site-specific commissions for the public domain with global and Australian artists including Pipilotti Rist, Olafur Eliasson, and Archie Moore; you can read about some of these projects in The Guardian. Our work received a Place Leader award for the Asia Pacific region in 2021.

I have also held positions with the Luxembourg City Film Festival, the Australian Centre for Photography, and the Center for Creative Photography.

Born and raised in the Sonoran Desert, I am currently based in Paris.
