Welcome to my site! I currently teach in Harvard’s Writing Program. Originally from Jupiter, Florida, I received my PhD in English from Boston University, where I also earned Graduate Certificates in Women's, Gender, & Sexuality Studies and in Writing Pedagogy. Before that, I earned my B.A. in English and Political Science and an M.A. in English at the University of Pennsylvania. My first book, The Collaborative Artists’s Book: Evolving Ideas in Poetry & Art (UIowa Press, Contemporary North American Poetry Series, 2023), explores collaborations between painters and poets in artist’s book form. My primary teaching and research interests include post-45 American poetry and art, critical pedagogy, and popular feminism.

Beyond the classroom, I enjoy running the streets of Boston and working out with November Project, doing crossword puzzles, watching (way too much terrible) television, and walking my Australian Shepherd, Zorro.
