About Me

A picture of me smiling at the camera. I'm wearing a lanyard because I'm at CCCC!
Here I am at 2017 CCCC excited and ready to learn!

As of Fall 2018, I am living my undergraduate student dream as an Assistant Professor of English and Women’s Studies at Old Dominion University. My family lives in Norfolk, VA, where we spend our days chasing kids on the beach. I am also involved in local grassroots organizing tackling the school-to-prison pipeline and school suspensions in Norfolk Public Schools (here are some infographics I made).
