PhD (Simon Fraser University)
MSc (Concordia University)
BSc (Dartmouth College)
Douglas College Faculty member since 2019.
My research analyses ideas of community, rivalry, and fellowship in Renaissance poetry and drama, and my work has appeared in publications such as Spenser Review and English Literary Renaissance. A recent area of scholarly interest is in depictions of sport and competition in literature, a focus that combines my love of books with my past experiences playing hockey.
While my research centers on the Renaissance, I enjoy teaching a range of topics, including contemporary Canadian fiction, animal and ecological literature, and the contemporary essay. Prior to teaching at Douglas, I taught English literature and/or writing at Kwantlen Polytechnic University, Simon Fraser University, and Concordia University.
