A creative writer with dual Master’s degrees and a 4.0 GPA in both programs, I have taught college-level English composition as an instructor of record and served as an adjunct professor for writing labs. My scholarly and creative work includes published poetry and prose in national literary journals, with nominations for a Pushcart Prize and Best of the Net. I have held editorial roles for literary magazines, reading and selecting submissions across genres. My editorial experience extends to book-length projects, including co-editing a museum-exhibit publication. As a graduate teaching assistant, I supported upper-level poetry courses, and I have also developed curriculum and taught creative writing summer courses. My academic practice combines literary craft, editorial work, and classroom teaching, grounded in a commitment to student writing development and literary publishing.
