I am an essayist, journalist, and educator. I graduated from the Nonfiction Writing Program at the University of Iowa in 2018, where I received numerous awards for my writing. I currently teach writing, reading, public speaking, and critical thinking to graduate and undergraduate students through the Rhetoric Department at the UI. 

​

My writing has been published by The Iowa Review, Entropy, the UNESCO Cities of Literature Project, and is forthcoming in Guesthouse. I presented my pedagogical research at the Annual Conference on the First-Year Experience in 2020. 

​

I am originally from a small town in western Pennsylvania called Zelienople. I am currently writing an essayistic memoir that takes place there. The project is about female rage and what it means to understand the love you come from.
