She is an Assistant Professor of Architectural History, Theory, and Criticism at the School of Architecture at the University of Hawai’i at Mānoa, where she teaches undergraduate and graduate courses in architecture and design history and theory. She has also taught at the School of Architecture + Design at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and at the School of Architecture at the University of Texas at Austin, where she earned her Ph.D. in Architecture. Her research focuses on modernist American and Central European architecture and design of the interwar twentieth century, especially the role of Jewish émigrés and refugees on design theory and culture in the United States. She is currently writing a book on the architect Alfred Preis, a refugee from Nazi-occupied Austria, who designed some of Hawaii’s most significant examples of midcentury modern architecture. Her essays on Alfred Preis and Frederick Kiesler have appeared in numerous books and journals, including Docomomo Journal, Umění – Art, Interiors, The Routledge Companion to Art Deco (Routledge, 2019), Frederick Kiesler, Face to Face with the Avant-Garde: Essential Essays on Networks and Impact (Birkhäuser, 2018) Architectures of Display: Department Stores and Modern Retail (Routledge, 2017), Endless Kiesler (Birkhäuser, 2015), Frederick Kiesler: Theatervisionäre – Architekt – Künstler (KHM/ Brandstätter, 2012), and Norman Bel Geddes Designs America (Abrams, 2012).
