She previously taught at Chulalongkorn University (Bangkok), UW-Milwaukee, and the Milwaukee Institute of Art & Design across departments including humanities, design, film, graphic design, foundations, fine art, and liberal studies.

Research interests emphasize the intersection of performative arts and socio-political inquiry, questioning the feasibility of a 'radical democratic subject' and the role of gesture in shaping identity. Her creative outputs include video installations and live performances exhibited nationally and internationally, from China to Milwaukee.
