Greetings, and welcome to my online portfolio!

I’m an Assistant Professor of English at Mary Baldwin University, where I teach courses in modern global literature and composition. Previously, I was an English faculty member at Georgia Gwinnett College in Atlanta. I am co-editor and contributor to Modernism and Food Studies, published in 2019 by the University Press of Florida. My article, “How to Read a Banana: Global Modernism and Global Food Chains,” was included in a food studies cluster on Modernism/modernity‘s PrintPlus platform. I completed my PhD in English at Indiana University, Bloomington, where I also earned my MA in 2008, and I am an alumni of Warren Wilson College, a liberal arts and work college located near Asheville, North Carolina.

Since 2007, I have taught a wide range of college-level composition and literature courses, including global modernism, 20th century American literature, introduction to fiction, introduction to poetry, college composition, professional writing, and argumentative writing, among others. I share my love of teaching by training graduate students to teach first year composition courses and supervising them during their first semester of teaching.

In my spare time, I enjoy cooking, mountain biking, gardening, salsa dancing, and hiking with my dog.
