Greetings!I am a Jamaican-born music researcher, cultural theorist, educator, and creative. My dissertation is an (eco)feminist, sonic ethnography of Ponta Delgada, considering how the musical behaviors and performances of culture on the island aid in creating a distinct musical identity in the region, considering postcolonial realities, intersectional identity, and collective musical experiences.

About Me
I am a Jamaican-born cultural theorist, educator, creative, and social scientist of music and sonic culture primarily concerned with African American musicking and Portuguese vernacular music practices in the Azores. My dissertation is an (eco)feminist, sonic ethnography of Ponta Delgada, the capital of the Azores (an autonomous region of Portugal), considering how the musical behaviors and cultural realities on the island aid in creating a distinct musical identity in the region. I am a former K-12 music educator and classically trained mezzo-soprano who writes songs in my downtime and occasionally performs (independently and in ensembles). I am actively incorporating performance into my current research endeavors and presentation methodologies, using multimedia to produce more public-facing research. I am in the final year of my PhD at the University of Florida in Gainesville, FL.

Dissertation Research
Azorean Acoustemologies: Gender, Sonic Identity, and Ecotourism in São Miguel
My dissertation is a feminist ethnographic exploration into the contemporary sonic culture driven by music festivals on São Miguel, the largest of nine islands in the Portuguese autonomous region of the Azores. I will focus on the capital city of Ponta Delgada as an area of cultural exchange, with musical gatherings acting as temporary communities for often subjugated populations. In these spaces, queer and female participants often celebrate and express their identities through sonic engagement as a liberatory practice. I will consider collective ideas of cultural value, “acceptable” gendered behavior, and the experiences of female and queer performers and attendees of musical events (especially those who grew up in the region) to understand how they form identity among others during musical engagement and view themselves as gendered individuals while they perform or respond to music.Click here to read more.

Performance Statement
Performance is a mode of presentation: whether it is individual or collective, it serves as an extension of bodily knowledge to provide a sonic identity that is temporally fleeting, emotionally resonant, and dynamic in function. In my undergraduate studies, I learned the piano, continued to play the clarinet, and formalized my vocal practice through private voice lessons with Carlo Thomas. During my previous experiences as a K-12 educator, I relished opportunities to teach students to play the ukulele (soprano and baritone), keyboards, guitar, violin, and various percussion instruments. Simultaneously, I played keyboard and drums at my church in Port Charlotte, FL, assisting with the senior praise team and leading the youth singers.In my present existence as a researcher, adjunct instructor, and student, I am actively seeking to apply my musical knowledge and creative capabilities within and outside the context of my dissertation. This presently manifests in recorded improvisatory vocal explorations, the composition of a lecture-performance, a forthcoming vocal album (with the prospect of peer collaborations), and diverse applications of the viola da terra, an Azorean string instrument I am learning during my Fulbright-funded tenure in São Miguel. Outside of my own ongoing performance projects, I believe that instruction is greatly impacted by the addition of performance, something I incorporate as a mode of assessment for my adjunct course in hip-hop history and culture. I look forward to exploring other modes of vocal and bodily performance in my future instruction.

Dissertation Research
My dissertation is an (eco)feminist ethnographic exploration into the contemporary sonic culture driven by music festivals on São Miguel, the largest of nine islands in the Portuguese autonomous region of the Azores. I focus on the capital city of Ponta Delgada as an area of cultural exchange, with musical gatherings acting as temporary communities for often subjugated populations. In these spaces, queer, female, and BIPOC participants often celebrate and express their identities through sonic engagement as a liberatory practice. I will consider collective ideas of cultural value, “acceptable” gendered behavior, and the experiences of female, queer, and BIPOC performers and attendees of musical events to understand how they form identity among others during musical engagement and view themselves as gendered individuals while they perform or respond to music.
Additionally, I explore how Black sonic influence is understood and shapes current musical engagement despite Black bodily absence. The interpolation of geographically and culturally specific ideas from works of Black feminist scholars into the ethnographic work will aid in a sociocultural critique of postcolonial sonic realities on the island, recognizing the shifting definition of cultural identity in the Azores in response to globalization and contextualizing how understanding the colonial past transforms the geographical sounding and silence into sexualized and racialized realities. Data for the creation of the dissertation will be collected in São Miguel during the 2022-2023 academic year on a fieldwork trip funded by a Fulbright U.S. Student Fellowship.

Excerpts from My Teaching Philosophy and Diversity Statement
We are all lifelong learners: whether it is something we acknowledge actively or passively. As an educator, my role is to provoke students to think critically about music, enjoy the learning process as they better develop their awareness of sound and its potential for diverse meanings, and to appreciate music in a personal way through individual and shared experiences. My pedological approach is student-centered, interdisciplinary, culturally and historically driven, and diverse in delivery. I use whole-brain teaching to provide instruction that is applicable in different contexts, intentionally structuring instructor-student interactions.Specific strategies are employed to elevate learning experiences for students’ abilities, backgrounds, and skill ranges. Appealing to auditory, kinesthetic, and visual learners, I often employ the use of technology, performance, and movement to illuminate concepts and develop meaningful and memorable learning experiences. Potentially, this is a result of my six years teaching elementary music and secondary choral classes, but university students still desire to be engaged in their learning and enjoy it in the process. Therefore, my instruction is not lecture-heavy.Connections: it is what learning is all about. Students collaborate and engage with the materials through scaffolded instruction and varied activities inside and outside of our course time together: they become stronger as independent thinkers. Students engage with new ideas and build understanding through discussion and peer-collaboration, with assessment manifesting through project-based assignments and critical thinking demonstrated through independent written work.In the classroom environment I encourage students to strengthen their musicianship and understanding through creation, in the form of written work (including lyrics, poetry, reflective prose, and more traditional essays), compositions, projects, and presentations. It is through active participation in discussion and the creation of these products that students demonstrate the application of their skills in critical thinking and understanding of the material. Differences are embraced, with instruction designed to acknowledge the value of students’ varied backgrounds.
