PhD
University of Tennessee
​2010
At The University of Tennessee I completed a PhD in English with a specialty in long eighteenth-century literature. I passed doctoral exams in Restoration and 18th-Century literature, Renaissance literature, and 17th- and 18th-century British tragedy. I took graduate courses in Renaissance, Restoration/18th-century, Romantic, and post-modern literature, as well as critical theory.
MA
Texas A&M University
2003
​At Texas A&M University I earned an MA in English. I took a handful of courses in linguistics and wrote a Masters thesis in sociolinguistics. I also took courses in Restoration/18th-century and American literature, modern drama, textual studies, composition, and creative non-fiction. Although originally I chose to pursue a degree at Texas A&M with the intent of becoming a linguist, my courses in Restoration/18th-century literature converted me to become an 18th-centuryist.
BA - Summa Cum Laude
University of Texas at San Antonio
​2001
​At The University of Texas at San Antonio I earned a BA in English. I began my education with the intention of becoming an accountant, but once I took a literature class I quickly changed my mind. At UTSA I also became interested in study of the English language and took many courses in writing and linguistics. I conducted a research project in linguistics, and shared my findings at an academic conference.
Assistant Professor (2016+)
Visiting Assistant Professor (2011-2016)
University of Maine at Farmington
Division of Humanities, Department of English
I teach composition and literature at The University of Maine at Farmington. I specialize in long eighteenth-century literature, but I also teach all areas of British literature before 1832. I regularly teach an early British texts and contexts course, which covers medieval through mid-eighteenth-century British literature, and a course on Shakespearean drama. I offer upper-level courses in Restoration/eighteenth-century literature, Romantic literature, travel writing, adaptation, drama, transatlantic women, and courses on Jane Austen. In my interpretation and analysis course I assign British, American, and world literature. My composition courses have focused on topics such as women's autobiographies in print, film, and art, as well as the art of Andy Warhol and Banksy as social critiques. I also teach professional writing and will teach in the First-Year Seminar and Honors Programs beginning Fall 2016.
Post-Doctoral Lecturer
University of Tennessee
Department of English
2010-2011
In my year as a post-doctoral lecturer at UT, I taught two composition courses—one focusing on rhetoric and argument, and the other on modes of research—and an early British literature survey course. I also directed an independent study for the Women's Studies Program on Sylvia Plath.
Graduate Teaching Associate
University of Tennessee
Department of English and Women's Studies Program
​2004-2010
As a graduate teaching associate at The University of Tennessee, I taught courses in rhetoric and argument, research strategies (such as hands-on, archival, and academic research), writing about literature, early British literature, and two women's studies courses (women's autobiography and women in literature). I also took part in a pilot study for the Writing Program to help redesign the curriculum from a literature-based second-semester writing course to a theme-based, research-oriented writing course.
Assistant Lecturer
Texas A&M University
Department of English
2003-2004
As a lecturer at Texas A&M, I taught introduction to literature and two technical writing courses (one for lower-level and the other for upper-level students).
Graduate Assistant - Teaching and Non-Teaching
Texas A&M University
Department of English
2001-2003
As a graduate assistant at Texas A&M, I designed and taught two of my own courses, and I assisted in the teaching of two additional courses. I taught a composition course on argument and research and an introduction to literature course. I also assisted a professor in a film studies course and a lecturer in a linguistics course.
Supplemental Instruction Leader
University of Texas at San Antonio
1999-2000
As an undergraduate student at UTSA, I designed supplemental instruction sessions for students in large American history courses. I attended class lectures, took notes, devised lesson plans, and conducted study sessions two to three times a week to help students better understand the course material. This position inspired me to become a professor.
