Profile

I am a first-year PhD student in writing, rhetoric, and cultures at MSU. I am the communications coordinator and a consultant for the MSU Writing Center. I’ve presented at CCCCs and MiWCA on the intersection of affect and linguistic justice in writing center contexts. I’m invested in the ways in which we can shape learning experiences, physical and digital, to be both widely accessible and culturally situated.

Education

MA in English, University of Louisville (where I worked at the University Writing Center and taught first-year writing) BA in English, Western Kentucky University
