I am an educator, artist, and scholar who navigates the spaces where art and design intersect with science and technology. I design and teach novel educational experiences (curriculum) for HS and college students that engage multiple disciplines and pedagogies of learning to experientially approach the solving of real world problems. I am an Adjunct Instructor in the College of Design, Architecture, Art, and Planning (DAAP) at the University of Cincinnati, teaching Art Education and a Trans Disciplinary Honors Course in collaboration with the College of Engineering and Applied Sciences (CEAS) called Sticky Innovation which will participate in the 2019 Biodesign Challenge. I have degrees in Architectural Studies, Art, Art History, English, Community Planning, Art Education, and am currently a PhD student of philosophy, aesthetics and art theory with the IDSVA.
My research interests include: the application of diverse art and science inquiry methodologies to consider “wicked problems”; the curricular impacts of art and technology on education; exploration and development of STEAM programming; using the lenses of affect theory and aesthetics to consider alternate forms of assessment; and the connections between mindfulness and aesthetics. I enjoy making things, taking nature walks with my husband Uday and rescue dog Laguna; spending time with my children, Ravi and Maya; and cooking for family and friends.
