About

After earning both my BA and MA from Queens College, City University of New York, I am now a first-year English Literature PhD candidate at Royal Holloway, University of London. My thesis research, supervised by Judith Hawley, focuses on performative social discourse in response to eighteenth century satire, a topic which stems from my MA dissertation on maddened rhetoric in Swift's Tale of a Tub (supervised by David Richter of the CUNY Graduate Center). I am also the recipient of RHUL's College Maintenance Award Scholarship, permitting research in C18 theatrics.

In terms of professional development, I am currently the web architect for RHUL's postgraduate journal, Exegesis (www.exegesisjournal.org) and webmaster for ASECS's Graduate Student Caucus. I also have presented at numerous conferences, including BSECS and ASECS, CCCC, and smaller regional conferences discussing technology or C18 literature. I, furthermore, was invited to speak twice for Queens College's grant program which taught faculty to implement technology into the classroom.

Other interests are: composition, rhetoric, online courses/hybridization, and technological pedagogies.

Theories include: Structuralist, rhetorical, and performance (both in Austin's speech act theory and in Butler's gender theory).

Side Project: (un)Enlightened Academy is a website that was originally designed to help American students with the issues that arise when writing. It now has expanded to include topics in philosophy, education, and technology.
