Biography:
I study literature and visual culture— both very new and very old. I’ve taught English
101 as well as Medieval Sexuality in Television and Film, Renaissance to Modern Literature,
and Ethics/Advocacy. My dissertation utilizes digital mapping and text analysis to
explore the influence of medieval murals in the Book of Margery Kempe. I formerly
assisted with the Modernism/modernity journal, the Incubator for Teaching Innovation,
and the USC Humanities Collaborative. Currently, I am the Project Manager for the
Otto F. Ege Digital Archive, creating a research database of medieval manuscripts
and business documents related to their sales.
