About:
I am a scholar and writer working at the intersection of poetics, the environmental humanities, and the history of design with a focus on eighteenth- and nineteenth-century British poetry. In addressing interdisciplinary questions, my work also engages with the histories of science, theology, and print. My current research asks how the project of a designed Earth became a human endeavor during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries and anticipated twenty-first-century developments in geoengineering aesthetics.
I am a passionate educator and educational consultant who currently teaches a diverse and interdisciplinary student body at the University of California, Davis. As a Teaching Assistant Consultant Fellow at the Center for Educational Effectiveness, I have assisted UC Davis graduate student instructors with pedagogical techniques as well as co-create and -facilitate professional development workshops, including the yearly university-wide TA Orientation.
I am co-founder and -editor of the zine and art collective Neither Down Nor Feathers. I also copyedit, write poetry, and paint watercolors.
