My Ph.D. was awarded jointly in 2024 by the John U. Nef Committee on Social Thought and the Department of English Language and Literature at the University of Chicago, I earned an M.A. in English from the University of Chicago in 2021, and a B.A. with Honors in Philosophy and English from Georgetown University in 2015.

My teaching interests include modern and contemporary American, Canadian, and Indigenous literatures and performance, poetry and poetics, theories of affect and emotion, psychoanalysis, critical theory, theories of race and gender, theories of language and law, and models of transformative justice.

My research and teaching has been supported by fellowships from the Pozen Center for Human Rights, the Center for the Study of Race, Politics, and Culture, the Center for the Study of Gender and Sexuality, and the Chicago Center for Teaching and Learning at the University of Chicago, as well as the Newberry Library and the Newberry Consortium in American Indian and Indigenous Studies, and the Harry Ransom Center at the University of Texas at Austin.

My writing and poetry have been published in Amodern, the Chicago Review, Gulf Coast, Prodigal, and SixByEight, and I serve as a reviews editor for ASAP/Review.
