I am an interdisciplinary researcher and teacher working at the intersection of the environmental humanities and US literary and cultural studies. I specialize in narratives of environmental crisis, and the cultural life of science and technology.

I am a settler scholar based in Ottawa, on the traditional and unceded territories of the Algonquin nation. My pronouns are she/her.

Currently, I'm working as a Postdoctoral Fellow in the English Department at Queen's University in Kingston, where I teach courses on environmental humanities as well as US literature and culture. In fall 2025, I  will be joining the Department of English at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette as an Assistant Professor in Ecocriticism.

I am in the final stages of completion for my first book project, A Drought with No End: The Cultural Life of Desertification, which examines desertification (the idea that desert-like conditions can result from severe drought and land degradation) as a cultural discourse that shapes how we understand and respond to environmental crisis in arid and semi-arid lands. My work has appeared in ISLE, MOSF Journal of Science Fiction, the NiCHE Blog and in the recent edited collection, Storied Deserts: Re-Imagining Global Arid Lands (Routledge 2024).
