I am currently the Consortium for Faculty Diversity Postdoctoral Fellow at Hollins University where I teach in the departments of English & Creative Writing and Environmental Studies. I was previously the 2023-2024 Jackie McLean Diversity Dissertation Completion Fellow at the University of Hartford. I hold a PhD in Comparative Literature from Emory University and an MA in Philosophy from Louisiana State University.
My research is at the intersection of the environmental humanities, literature, and philosophy. I have published multiple articles on topics ranging from eco-phenomenology to deconstruction to psychoanalytic theory and wrote my dissertation on the existential and psychoanalytic conceptions of repetition in transnational American literature.
