About

I am an equity-minded critical thinker devoted to advancing imaginative public safety ideas, co-creating healing spaces, and disrupting injustice through heart-based interventions. I formerly investigated police misconduct in Chicago.

My interests include liberatory pedagogy, nonviolence, discretion in criminal justice, police oversight, critical theory, and generative practices for healing trauma and violence interruption.
