I am a copywriter, editor, internationally published poet, and award winning translator based in Edinburgh, Scotland. I recently finished my PhD in Communication, Rhetoric, & Digital Media at NC State University; my dissertation (to put it very pithily) was on narrative in electronic literature. I also hold an MFA in creative writing from Boston University and an MA in English & Comparative Literature with an emphasis in Literature, Medicine, and Culture from UNC–Chapel Hill.
In addition to my own writing, I have extensive experience training writers. I have taught comparative literature, composition, creative writing, English, literary translation, and professional writing at the university level, and I was a graduate research and instruction assistant at NC State's Innovation Studio from 2020–2022, where I designed and taught workshops that covered content ranging from Afrofuturism to video game narrative to speculative microfiction (to name a few). I am particularly interested in writing as a technology, and current developments in AI are fascinating to me. My current pet project is a 3D-printed touch interface capable of performing mediated readings of novels using Natural Language Processing and Python/Programming code. Please feel free to contact me, especially if you want to talk about basketball, cheeseburgers, movies, and/or Frankenstein. |
