I am a Visiting Assistant Professor in Rhetoric at the University of Iowa, and a 2025 graduate of the University of Iowa's Nonfiction Writing Program. Read a short interview here.
I write historical narrative nonfiction, essays, and criticism. My MFA thesis explores how four schoolteachers weathered the political storms of the First and Second World Wars in England and France. Two chapters of this project were recently published in Sewanee Review. In Spring 2025, I was a Marcus Bach Fellow at the University of Iowa. As a graduate student, I won the 2024 Doug Trank Memorial Award for Excellence in Teaching & Mentoring. From 2015-2022, I taught History, English, and Theology at Catholic and Episcopal schools in Boston and Greenville, SC. I |
