I lead students to create multimodal composition projects from video essays to digital exhibit websites. I help students become better communicators and develop Written, Oral, Visual, Electronic, and Non-verbal (WOVEN) communication skills.

My research on the early modern period focuses specifically on drama and poetry to show the relevance of such a crucial historical period to our present day. My recent work analyzes servant characters and other marginalized figures in early modern drama to argue that these precarious workers take central roles on stage in the plays of Shakespeare and his contemporaries.

My teaching goal is to guide students of different learning styles, backgrounds, and interests to gain insights into literary and cultural discussions and to encourage them to find ways they can actively contribute to them.

In present and previous roles, as Writing Center Co-director, and Literature, English as a Learned Language, and English Composition instructor, I have demonstrated my commitment to aiding students of diverse backgrounds in developing writing, argumentation, and research skills that they can apply to their academic and professional lives.
