I’m a writer and a teacher. I have a Ph.D in English Rhetoric and Composition and have been teaching college writing for a decade. My research focuses on looking at digital media and genre in ways that value audiences and fans while appreciating creator work. I am especially interested in game studies.

My most recent blog posts are below. Thank you for visiting!
