I am a data scientist, librarian, and information professional whose work bridges archival research, computational methods, and social justice. With a Master’s in Library and Information Science from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, I specialize in leveraging data science and digital humanities to examine the intersections of race, technology, and information infrastructures.

Currently, I serve as a librarian at Pear Deck Learning, where I provide direct academic library support to students at the following institutions: the University of Arizona Global Campus, the University of Alabama at Birmingham, and Mohave Community College, as well as K-12 students in school districts across the United States. I mentor students in research strategies, academic writing, and data literacy, ensuring access to credible scholarly resources while fostering critical engagement with information infrastructures that shape knowledge production and accessibility.

My research critically interrogates how data and information systems uphold legacies of colonialism, carceral logics, and ecological imperialism. I explore the systemic bodily dispossession of Black communities through food production, tracing the historical disruption of African agricultural knowledge to contemporary struggles for food sovereignty. Through this work, I examine how plantation economies and prison food regimes function as mechanisms of racialized control, shaping the material realities of Black life. Both my computation and archival approach to understanding racialization and food systems situates data as both a site of oppression and a tool for resistance—one that can expose historical erasure and empower community-driven narratives.

My librarianship reflects these commitments, centered on equitable access to information, responsible data practices, and archival preservation. I have worked extensively with students, scholars, and community members to refine research strategies, curate digital collections, and implement sustainable data management systems. Upholding FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) data principles, I ensure the longevity and ethical use of sensitive and historical data, challenging dominant frameworks that have historically excluded marginalized knowledge systems. I have developed digital archives, guided institutions in electronic resource management, and led initiatives to recover and preserve histories erased by colonial and carceral infrastructures.
