I am an Associate Professor of English at New York Institute of Technology. Previously, I held a Marion L. Brittain Postdoctoral Fellowship at the Georgia Institute of Technology, the NEH Post-Doctoral Fellowship in Poetics at Emory University's Fox Center for Humanistic Inquiry, and taught at Agnes Scott College. I received my Ph.D. in English from the University of Washington and my B.A. in English from Colgate University. My research and teaching interests include twentieth century literature, modernism, poetry and poetics, literary archives, composition, and the digital humanities.
My monograph, Annotating Modernism: Marginalia and Pedagogy from Virginia Woolf to the Confessional Poets (Routledge, 2020; paperback, 2021), addresses writers' reading of modernism before and after the Second World War by analyzing their personal copies of modernist texts, student notes, and teaching materials. I discussed this project with Dr Dennis Duncan for his Paratexts Podcast series at Oxford University's Bodleian Library. You can listen to the podcast here.

Currently, I am co-editing The Poems of Sylvia Plath with Karen V. Kukil. This project is supported by a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities. I recently co-edited The Bloomsbury Handbook to Sylvia Plath (2022) with Anita Helle and Maeve O'Brien. This collection features the work of twenty-seven scholars considering topics ranging from archives, digital humanities, and pedagogy to media, children's literature, and disability studies.
I previously edited the collection, This Business of Words: Reassessing Anne Sexton (UPF, 2016, paperback 2018) and a peer-reviewed cluster on Feminist Modernist Digital Humanities for the journal Feminist Modernist Studies. The issue, published in the journal’s first year, was among those for which the journal received the Council of Editors of Learned Journals (CELJ) Award for Best New Journal. I have also published in Modernism/modernity, Woolf Studies Annual, The Space Between: Literature and Culture, 1914-1945, and The Ted Hughes Society Journal.
I am the Vice President of the International Virginia Woolf Society (2021-3). Since 2010, I have been the Book Review Editor for Woolf Studies Annual. I am a member of the Board of Editorial Advisors of the journal Textual Cultures, the International Advisory Board of the Modernist Archives and Publishing Project (MAPP), and the Editorial Boards of the Orlando Project and Bloomsbury Academic's Modernist Archives Series. From 2015-20, I served on the Modern Language Association’s Executive Committee for the Forum on Bibliography and Scholarly Editing, and from 2020-2, I represented the Forum on the MLA Delegate Assembly.
