In 2023, she was awarded the NCECA Graduate Student Fellowship and the American Ceramic Circle Research grant. She is a Fulbright Scholar and a National Geographic Explorer whose focus is on the preservation, education, and expansion of Afro-Caribbean pottery practices. Her research-based practice centers on matriarchal craft legacies and preserving oral culture and traditions through object-making.
