Biography

After earning my Ph.D. in 2019 from the University of Delaware, I taught at Kent State University at Stark before joining Clayton State in 2021. In Spring 2022 I completed a Fulbright grant at the University of Graz, Austria, to advance my project, "Perspectives of American Protest Literature from Abroad." My dissertation, "Boycott: Literary Interventions in the American Marketplace, 1820-1880," won the Sypherd Prize for Outstanding Dissertation in the Humanities. My work has appeared in American Literature (2018), Pennsylvania Magazine of History and Biography (2020), and Elusive Archives (U of Delaware Press, 2021). I have been awarded twice for excellence in teaching: Kent State University Outstanding Composition Instructor (2019), University of Delaware Excellence in Graduate Teaching (2015).
