Writer
My writing practice often looks at include digital culture, the
politics of the archive, globalization, cultural hegemony and contemporary art. As a reader, genres that have inspired me also include UX research, design anthropology, autotheory and autoethnography. It is also closely linked to my experience as a
workshop designer, facilitator and student researcher. Through these projects I have been able to leverage my writing skills to create positive change in different communities in Montréal.

Creative Film Workshop with Festival International du Film Ethnographique du Québec 2025
Collaboration with Festival International du Film Ethnographique du
Québec (FIFEQ) Montreal for the 21st edition, which focused on the
duality of the visible and invisible in ethnographic film. I had the
opportunity to design and facilitate a creative workshop in
collaboration with visual anthropologist Danya Leal, on ethnographic
filmmaking at Espace Go, in which participants were invited to
analyze and critically examine the role that both the production and
post-production phase play in the construction of ethnographic
meaning.
Materials created for the workshop are available to view here.
