I am a writer and researcher living in eastern Pennsylvania. My work has been published in a range of journals and modalities. My interests are interdisciplinary, comparative, and transnational in nature, situated at the crossroads of fields such as poetry studies, Oscar Wilde studies, aesthetics, prison studies, nineteenth-century studies, and transnational modernism.

I hold a PhD in Comparative Literature from Emory University. Additional graduate training includes literature and language studies at two universities in Germany, and an MFA in Creative Writing with related Cultural Studies coursework from the University of Minnesota. I also hold a BA in English Writing and Environmental Studies from the University of Pittsburgh.
