I was born in Portland, Oregon, but raised in the Michiana area. After I graduated from the University of Iowa, I moved around a bit before returning home to be near my family. I received my Master’s degree in English from IUSB in 2012 and I enjoyed the campus and community so much that I began pursuing teaching opportunities here.

Background
Interests
I love all things that have to do with the study of writing and part of that interest comes from my professional past. After completing my undergraduate degree in English, I worked as an environmental consultant for both private corporations and government agencies. I traveled all over the country conducting research and writing about the history of potentially contaminated properties. As a result, I have a unique perspective on the career choices available to writers and English majors.
