Program Manager @ Yale University
Ph.D. English; M.A. Digital Humanities; B.A. English, CS Minor
With an unconventional background in English and Computer Science, I’m passionate about empowering students to build their own unique pathways to success. I’ve built a reputation for designing successful programs in higher ed that equip academics of all levels for the future, whether it’s launching innovative training initiatives or building cross-functional partnerships within universities and beyond. I’m especially good at identifying stakeholder and audience needs and building scalable and flexible programs to meet them.
Lately I’ve also published a book chapter on the importance of community in student development and traveled to Hong Kong to present on using poetics to navigating the AI age.
In a past life as a digital humanist, I designed and built a digital dissertation that presents poems as interactive media and teaching tools, turning Emily Dickinson’s immersive envelope poems into interactive digital objects, Herman Melville’s notoriously circuitous Moby-Dick into a hyperlinked Choose Your Own Adventure story, Frances E.W. Harper’s newspaper poems into digital ephemera, and Walt Whitman’s engrossing and fragmentary autobiography into a blog.
In my spare time you can find me playing pickleball, watching movies, and trying to fix my Spotify algo through sheer force of will.
