Bio:

I started my academic career focusing on what American women wrote about war and then segued into a long chunk of time working with writing assessment. Since coming to Drexel in 2009—after interludes directing the Drexel Writing Center and writing program--I have embraced the craft of teaching in face-to-face, hybrid, and online modalities. In recent years, I have also explored the intersections of teaching, social justice, work-integrated learning and writing through research at Drexel and Fulbright awards to Cape Town, South Africa and Monteverde, Costa Rica.
