I am a English high school teacher and nature writer located in NYC.
I teach 11th grade English, as well Advanced Placement (AP) English, and a class on Journalism at a Charter High School in the Bronx.
Previously an Assistant Professor (wiss. Mitarbeiter) of American Studies at the University of Konstanz in Germany, I received my PhD in English from Fordham University (NYC) for my dissertation “Subaqueous Poetics: Oceanic Depths in Modern and Contemporary Poetry” (2020). My creative and critical work has been published in a variety of venues—see my “Research” section for more.
My research interests focus on the environmental humanities, often addressing such issues as animal life, waste, and the effects of infrastructure projects on people and the environment. I have also taught a number of university-level courses on related topics.
