My academic interests include poetry, writing pedagogy, children’s literature, fiction, and Irish literature. Above all, I love teaching undergraduate writing. Prior to working at Yale, I was the Faculty Director of the Lloyd Scholars for Writing and the Arts, a first-year living-learning program at the University of Michigan, and a lecturer in the Sweetland Center for Writing at U-M. I received a BA from Bowdoin College, MA from Boston College, and PhD in Irish literature from the University College, Dublin. I am currently working on a number of writing projects, including a collection of poetry and a novel.
