About

What I do

Consulting

I help organizations plan and deliver projects that are efficient, inclusive, and impactful. My work integrates diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility into project planning, community engagement, and organizational strategy. I have experience managing complex, multi-stakeholder initiatives, national consultations, and community projects, and I support clients in developing practical solutions that resonate with the communities they serve.

Writing & Editing

I write and edit professionally across various platforms, including print and digital magazines. I have experience managing editorial teams, assessing pitches, assigning stories, scheduling content, developing comprehensive style guides and lexicons, and writing grant proposals to support academic reserach and nonprofit initiatives.

My academic work has  appeared in the Journal of History and Prandium, and my nonacademic work has appeared in Art/iculation Magazine, Broken Pencil Magazine, Quill & Quire, This Magazine, among other places. 

As an editor, I use my education, experience, and expertise to address copyediting issues like spelling, grammar, and syntax, as well as substantive concerns, including content, clarity, and flow.

For examples of my work, see select published chapters and zines, and select article, review, and literary publication history and portfolio.

Public Historical Work

I earned an Honours Bachelor of Arts with High Distinction from the University of Toronto in 2019, with a double major in Historical Studies and Art History, and a minor in History of Religions. I completed a Master’s in History from the University of Guelph in 2020. In 2025 I left my SSHRC-funded PhD program in History at the University of Toronto.

My academic research focused on nonnormative gender expressions in latemMedieval Europe and the emerging field of Medieval Trans Studies, including the creation of an extensive working bibliography. While I valued this work deeply, fewer than 10% of history PhD graduates finding tenure-track positions and opportunities for medieval historians continue to decline. I am now focused on applying the skills I developed in research, analysis, writing, project management, and public engagement in broader contexts.

I make historical reserach accessible through public talks, exhibitions, and digital projects. I’ve have spoken at institutions including the Art Gallery of Ontario and Memorial University of Newfoundland, curated exhibitions such as Illuminating Life: Manuscript Pages of the Middle Ages (University of Guelph, 2020) and Genderqueer in Canada (The ArQuives, 2020), and share ongoing work through Ephemeral Record.

Across these projects, my goal is to connect scholarly research with community interests, fostering awareness, understanding, and engagement with the past while highlighting its relevance to the present.

Ephemeral Record: Creating Trans and Queer Histories

In 2023, I launched Ephemeral Record, a project rooted in my academic and lived experience that shaes trans and queer histories in an accessible format. In 2025, I relaunched it as a self-hosted newsletter.

Recent posts have explored the evolving language historians use to describe nonnormative genders, a 14th-century English trans sex worker, and the history of a queer institution in Toronto.

The newsletter is free to subscribe to, with occasional paywalled pieces as a source of income.

Bibliography of Medieval Trans Studies

In 2021, I created A Bibliography of Medieval Trans Studies, drawing from my personal library and foundational resources such as Lucy Allen’s “A ‘Queer Medieval’ Reading List,” Gabrielle Bychowski’s website Transliterature: Things Transform, Eileen Joy’s working bibliography for Seminar in Medieval Literature: Medieval Sex, and Rictor Norton’s Bibliography of Gay and Lesbian History.

This bibliography has since grown through contributions from scholars and community mmebers, both named and anonymous. It has been shared at conferences, in classrooms, and continues to serve a starting point for those interested in learning more about premodern trans studies. There’s so much excellent work being done in this subfield, and I encourage everyone to continue to use, cite, expand, and share these resources.

Talks & Academic Conferences

I love sharing ideas through talks and presentations. I have spoken at the Art Gallery of Ontario on the visual history of tarot, at Memorial University of Newfoundland on community archives, for the Toronto District School Board about witchcraft and material culture, and co-presented a workshhop on activating communities with public programming at Enchanté Network’s Together for Change conference.

I’ve presented at and chaired panels at a number of academic conferences, including the American Historical Association, the International Congress on Medieval Studies, Moving Trans Histories Forward. I have also guest lectured on early modern print history, gender and sexuality in early modern Europe, and European witchcraft. A select list of my academic appearancesis available in my curriculum vitae.

Art and Museum Exhbitions

I enjoy bringing historical and artistic work to life for broader audiences. I have curated and contributed to exhibitions including Illuminating Life: Manuscript Pages of the Middle Ages (Archival and Special Collections, University of Guelph, 2020) and Between (Blackwood Gallery, Mississauga, 2018).

Additionally, I was the sole curator for Genderqueer in Canada (The ArQuives, Toronto, 2020) and Community Ties: Our Future Together (The ArQuives, Toronto, 2025).
