I am an English Ph.D. candidate and General Education Literature (GEL) instructor at the University of Iowa, where I study Victorian and British modernist fiction. Before joining the University of Iowa’s English Department, I earned a B. A. in English and a B. A. in German at Ohio State University. I have taught undergraduates courses in English literature and Rhetoric. Currently I teach Interpretation of Literature and serve as a tutor at the Writing Center at The University of Iowa.
