I am a current Assistant Professor of Literacy at St. John's University in the Department of Education Specialties working with PhD and Master's students. I earned a Ph.D. in the Learning, Literacies, and Technologies Program at Mary Lou Fulton Teachers College at Arizona State University.

Teaching Interests

I have worked with many diverse populations of students both in teaching and employment. I have faced the challenges of helping various learners find unique ways to succeed, and these are the kinds of environments in which I hope to enact change.

Research Interests

My multiliteracies-framed and critical digital literacies-framed research interests center around multimodal authoring paths and digital-age literacy practices to expand notions of “what counts” as writing, particularly for academically marginalized students.
