I am a curator of craft history and a Ph.D. student at Queen’s University (Kingston, ON). I am the Guest Editor of the Fall/Winter 2024 issue of Ornamentum, Canada’s only decorative arts magazine.
My doctoral research examines ceramic pedagogy during the turn of the twentieth century in East Asia, notably industrial schools in Japan and their international student body from across Asia. My scholarly projects include the cross-cultural exchange of craft knowledge, design, and technology spanning the craft disciplines across East Asia and Europe.
I curated Liu Shiming: Spirit of Daily Life in partnership with the Liu Shiming Art Foundation at the Art & Media Lab (February 2024). I have held curatorial internships at the Royal Ontario Museum's Global Fashion and Textiles Department and the Gardiner Museum of Ceramics. My work as a curatorial researcher has contributed to Indian Ocean: Monsoon Worlds forthcoming in 2026 at the Royal Ontario Museum.
I hold an MA in Decorative Arts, Design History, and Material Culture from the Bard Graduate Center in New York, NY. I received my BA (Hons.) in Art History, Anthropology, and Material Culture from the University of Toronto in Toronto, ON.
