I received my BA from Wesleyan University and her MA and Ph.D. from the University of Rochester. 
​
My research focuses on Shakespeare and other early modern playwrights, transhistorical dramaturgy, and performance. I have also written on early modern women writers, women and children in early modern plays, Christopher Marlowe, and John Webster. I have enjoyed co-editing collections with Dr. Martha Driver and Dr. Catherine Loomis.
​
At Pace, I teach early Shakespeare and later Shakespeare, Performing Shakespeare, Jane Austen, Dramaturgy, Sitcoms, and American Drama. In 2016, I won the Kenan Award for Excellence in Teaching.
​
I am currently mentoring students on a large research project that examines the history and culture “beneath our feet”—the stories of Black, Indigenous, LGBTQIA+, Latine, and Asian folx that happened in and around City Hall Park, where Pace (New York campus) is located.

In addition to teaching, I am a dramaturg and text coach. I serve on the Board of New York Classical Theatre and Australian Wildlife Conservancy, US.
