Hello! I’m a writer, curator, and art historian living in New Haven.

My essays have appeared in the New York Times, Boston Globe Magazine, The Baffler, Boston Review, Poetry, Los Angeles Review of Books, and throughout the art press. A regular contributor to academic journals and edited volumes, I am completing a book about global AIDS cultural activism.

With Noam Parness, I’m the co-curator of Christian Walker: The Profane and the Poignant, which originated at the Leslie-Lohman Museum of Art in 2023 before traveling to Tufts University Art Galleries and Atlanta Contemporary. My exhibition As the World Burns: Queer Photography and Nightlife in Boston, organized in partnership with Laurel V. McLaughlin, was on view at Tufts University Art Galleries in 2024.

Currently a Project Manager in the Public Engagement Division at the Yale Center for British Art, I have recently held positions at the Harvard Art Museums, Tufts University, and the Stonewall National Museum and Archives.
