In my first-year composition and sophomore literature courses I enjoy examining unconventional or lesser-known texts alongside canonical works. I tend to frame my courses by explicitly connecting content to a broader historical context as well as to current national or worldwide conversations. Both my literature and composition courses tend to be fueled by lively discussions and deep textual analysis.

In my personal life I enjoy reading, writing, hiking and camping, gardening, bird watching, handwork and crafting, spending time with my husband and baby boy, and watching entirely too much television.
