I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of African American Studies, and I am also a faculty affiliate with the Programs in Latin American Studies and in Gender and Sexuality Studies. After beginning my career at Dartmouth, I joined the faculty at Princeton in 2017 and have served as a faculty advisor for Whitman College for several years. As a professor, I study the history of Latin America and the Caribbean with a focus on Afro-Caribbean political activism, labor, gender, and migration during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. I am originally from St. Louis, Missouri, but have lived in several different US states and in multiple foreign countries. I earned my B.A. in History-Sociology from Columbia University and Ph.D. in History at Duke University. While completing my graduate studies, I was a Fulbright Fellow at The University of the West Indies-St. Augustine in Trinidad and Tobago. I reside in Princeton with my family and we often eat dinner at Whitman, so please don’t hesitate to say hello!
