I'm a PhD candidate in English Literature with a focus on promoting equitable and effective teaching in undergraduate and graduate contexts.
My literary research interests include eighteenth- and nineteenth-century British literature; space, place, and recursive movement in Gothic and domestic novels; feminist narratology; intertextuality and rewriting; gender and sexuality theory, and book history, bibliography, and scholarly editing.
I have over ten years of experience working in writing centers in traditional universities, at community colleges, and at at centers focused on serving graduate students and postdoctoral scholars in STEM fields. As a consultant with UVA's Graduate Writing Lab, I've created open-access presentations and workshops on scientific writing and best practices for graduate students as they revise their own writing.
My pedagogy focuses on equitable course design, authentic assignments, centering students and their individual goals, and using multimodality to enhance motivation and learning. I teach first-year writing courses on humor and the interdisciplinary study of memory and specialized literature courses on feminist narratology, the novel as a form, and the intersections between current theories of gender and the interpretation of c18 and c19 fiction.
During graduate school, I've developed a passion for improving graduate education. I currently work as a graduate consultant at UVA's Center for Teaching Excellence and am pursuing a career in graduate student success, graduate writing and communication, or graduate student teaching development.
