About
I’m a Ph.D. student in the English Department at the CUNY Graduate Center, where I study the history and theory of the novel. As part of my fellowship, I teach English courses to undergraduates at Hunter College. I have master’s and bachelor’s degrees in English literature, and I’ve attended Rare Book School. After completing my master’s, I was a Gap Year Fellow at PEN America.
My freelance work has appeared in The New Yorker, The Atlantic, and elsewhere, and includes essays on book culture, book reviews, and interviews.
I’m currently working on a novel and interning at James Cummins Bookseller.
