Currently a PhD student in BGSU's Rhetoric and Writing program, I attended school at Marshall University, where I earned a Master of Arts in English with a concentration in Rhetoric and Composition, and earlier attended West Virginia State University, where I earned a Bachelor of Arts in English with a specialization in Literature. During my time at Marshall, I worked in the university's writing center for three years, taught first-year composition full-time for one year, and also taught a service learning course focusing on preparing multimodal compositions for a community partner. My research interests include technology use in first-year composition, multimodality, literacy studies, and feminist rhetorics. In my spare time, I can be found in the Dawnbringer server, spending time with friends, reading or playing with my cat, Chibi.
