About
I am currently Program Manager for Professional Development at the Modern Language Association.
Prior to beginning work at the MLA in January 2022, I was Professor and Chair of English and Creative Writing at Widener University.
I am the President of the Modernist Studies Association for 2021–2022, and serve as the Editor of “Orientations,” a forum dedicated to queer and feminist modernist studies published on Modernism/modernity PrintPlus.
