I have a Ph.D. in Comparative History. I arrived in the University of Guelph under the Scholars-at-Risk program in 2018. Since 2022, I teach several courses in the Departments of History and Political Science as a sessional. I worked as an executive member in different unions in different countries before arriving in Canada.
