ACADEMIC POSITIONS Teaching Assistant, Langara College, Vancouver BC 2013-Present Supervisor: Dr. Sandra Enns, Sociology Instructor
I am responsible for assisting in the design of a new course curriculum that has been particularly devised for first year sociology students. The new design has shifted toward an exam free format, because exams have been found to be insufficient for demonstrating knowledge in the course subject matter. The course has three written assignments, which are in the form of argumentative papers regarding sociological topics. I am responsible for marking 60-120 papers per term. The new course design does not utilize a textbook; instead, students are assigned topics that are relevant to the course material, and required to post an online resource (article, video, podcast, etc.) to an online discussion forum. I am responsible for the grading online posts; each post is worth three to four marks and students are expected to put up one post and respond to four throughout the semester. I have also lectured in Dr. Sandra Enns stead when she is unable to attend class, and have provided an energetic, engaging and comfortable learning environment.
Assistant Curator, Italian Cultural Centre, Vancouver BC 2013-2014 Supervisor: Dr. Angela Clark, Museum Curator
I am responsible for the looking after the archives and organizing our storage facilities. I am required to review the archives and ensure that the items are relevant to Italian heritage and culture. Furthermore, I scout for items that should be on display for the public to see, and design and create showcases to present the items that have been found. I denote a portion of my time to researching the items to explain their use, origin, and relevance to Italian culture. Presently I have been working on creating a more appealing way to present our exhibitions to make them more engaging to the public and increase guest counts within the museum.
Research Assistant, The Role of Community Centres in Diaspora Youth Identity 2013 – 2014 Supervisor: Eva Sajoo
I am worked along side Mauro Vescera, the Executive Director of the Italian Cultural Centre (ICC), and Eva Sajoo, a Research Associate for Simon Fraser University’s Institute for Diaspora Research & Engagement (IDRE). The research project established partnership between the ICC and IDRE. The research explored the challenges faced by newer generations of Italian-Canadians in addressing issues of inclusion and belonging, exclusion and difference, as well as integration and assimilation. I assisted Eva Sajoo market and promote the research within the Italian community through posters, social media, social networking and other variations of snowball sampling.

RESEARCH INTERESTS Language and Social Epistemology
I am intrigued by how the acquisition, use, and kind of language affect our epistemic and ontological knowledge of all phenomena.
Gender and Relationships
I am fascinated by gender norms present across all cultures and the influence gender has on: relationships, attraction, and dating.
Free will, Agency, and Ethics
I am captivated by philosophical and sociological questions concerning the existence and nature of free will and how it relates to ethics, and personal identity. I am particularly fascinated with the philosophical writings of Karl Marx, George Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, and contemporary Jack Martin, which pertain to questions concerning human agency in society.
Social Movements and Social Evolution I am interested in analyzing social changes and isolating potential social factors
that may be positively correlated with the respective changes. Social Theory, Political Philosophy, and Political Economy I have a passion and innate curiosity concerning all matters of social theory and
political philosophy. I am particularly interested in studying the nature of capitalism, war ethics, globalization, and the division of labour. The writings of Karl Marx, George Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, John Rawls, Michael Walzer, Thomas Pogge, and Peter Singer pertaining to these topics particularly intrigue me.
