About Me

I am a second-year Master's student at Florida State University graduating May 2020. I study English rhetoric and composition, and I am also a graduate assistant in the College Composition Program. My assistantship duties include teaching sections of ENC 1101 and 2135, tutoring at Florida State's Reading-Writing Center, consulting at the Digital Studio, and, most recently, an administrative position as the Computer Writing Classroom (CWC) Coordinator.

My interests include public and private writing, writing center and digital studio studies, narrative theory, social movement rhetorics, and visual rhetorics. My work is informed by lenses of identity, queer theory, critical race theory, and feminism.

​​

While I am an academic skilled in pedagogy, teaching, communication and rhetorical studies, and critical theory and scholarship, I am also an experienced editor and designer with a demonstrated history in the fields of copywriting and copy-editing as well as document design. I have also earned a Graduate Certificate in Publishing and Editing. I write creatively every once in awhile, too—primarily poetry and creative nonfiction. Finally, I'm developing my skills in web design, where I am learning languages such as HTML and CSS. My current proficiencies are in Adobe InDesign, Illustrator, and Photoshop.

​

You can find me exploring the local coffee scene, listening to music—on Spotify or at a local venue—and/or watching the latest series to hit streaming platforms; if I'm not writing, that is. I can also be found through the contact information provided beneath my photo.
