Poet: I am an internationally published poet originally from Idaho and currently based in Edinburgh, Scotland. I hold an MFA from Boston University where I studied under Robert Pinsky, David Ferry, and Nobel laureate Louise Glück (I know, right?!), and my writing has appeared in The Adroit Journal, AGNI, The Los Angeles Review, The National Poetry Review, Poetry Scotland, and many other journals and anthologies, and I've been lucky to be nominated for things like Best New Poets and the Pushcart Prize. 

Translator: I translate poetry & fiction from Portuguese (out of Portugal, Brazil, and Africa). Individual translations have appeared in ANMLY, Asymptote, The Interpreter's House, and The London Magazine, among many others. My work has been supported by the Robert Pinsky Global Fellowship and the American Literary Translators Association, and my translation of Portuguese poet João Luís Barreto Guimarães's ninth collection, Mediterranean, won the 2020 Willow Run Poetry Book Award and is forthcoming from Hidden River Arts (Philadelphia) in 2022. 

PhD Candidate: I am a PhD candidate (ABD, baby!) in NC State University's program in Communication, Rhetoric, & Digital Media, where I am also a Research & Instruction Assistant in the Innovation Studio at NCSU Libraries. My research interests lie at the intersections of critical making, electronic literature, the digital humanities, and all things Frankenstein (to name a few). I also hold an MA in English & Comparative Literature with an emphasis in Literature, Medicine, & Culture from UNC - Chapel Hill. I really like school.

Teacher: I have taught courses in comparative literature, composition, creative writing, English, and professional writing at Boston University, Bunker Hill Community College, NC State University, UNC-Chapel Hill, and Wentworth Institute of Technology.

Maker / [Digital] Humanist: My PhD research fuses the theory and praxis of Digital Humanities and Critical Making (with some post-hypertext- and monster theory thrown in for good measure). My current project is a touch-based interface made of 3D-printed plastic, conductive paint, styrofoam, steel, and wire that performs mediated readings of Frankenstein using Natural Language Processing and Python/Programming code. It's all one giant mess, but I am here for it.

Em Dash Enthusiast: I love em dashes. Em dashes are my favorite. The continued existence and use of the Oxford comma is a hill I will die on, but em dashes are all gravy.
