I am an Assistant Professor and Coordinator of Music Education in the Kitt School of Music at Northern Arizona University. My research and teaching use postfoundational curriculum theory to examine how power, governance, and difference shape schooling, with music education as a primary site of analysis.

My work builds upon my experience teaching elementary and secondary general music in Phoenix, Arizona, as well as my involvement in teacher organizing and education justice movements. I earned my Ph.D. in Curriculum and Instruction from the University of Wisconsin–Madison.
