Hi, I’m Phoenix Nénar Williams (they/them) — an interdisciplinary educator, researcher, writer, and artist.
My work lives at the intersection of STEM, storytelling, and education. I’m currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Computational Mathematics & Biophysics, where my research focuses on criticality in neurodynamics. Alongside that, I bring over a decade of experience in education—supporting students in classrooms, developing curriculum, and building inclusive, equity-centered learning environments.
But my work doesn’t stop at the whiteboard. I’m also a published essayist and poet, a filmmaker and photographer, and a scholar of film and media studies. Whether I’m analyzing the intersection of race and queerness in cinema, crafting a short video essay, or capturing a moment through a lens, I use storytelling as a bridge—connecting data with meaning, and theory with lived experience.
I believe in making complex ideas accessible, in learning as a creative act, and in the power of interdisciplinary thinking to drive change.
If you’d like to contract my work for a project or have an idea for a collaboration, email or text is the best way to reach me.
