She is director of the Visual Media workshop and lead researcher for the Making Selfies/Marking Self Research Project, which explores the production and curation of selfies by young Canadian women. She teaches classes in communication theory, popular culture, and media and diversity. Her interests in interdisciplinary design and visual culture emerge from academic training and processional experience with cultural policy, cultural studies, architecture, urban design, and fashion design.
