From my own deeply interdisciplinary training, and through working with faculty and student writers from across the disciplines, I have familiarity with conventions of scholarship across a range of fields. I bring to my work as an editor more than ten years of experience teaching academic writing and literature courses, for which I've read and thought deeply about how to write effective and enabling feedback. Most recently, I have held full-time positions at the University of Virginia and Carnegie Mellon. Five years of tutoring at an excellent writing center expanded my set of techniques for addressing questions of craft and informed my sense of the importance of dialogue. My scholarship has appeared in top-tier journals in my areas of study, nineteenth-century British literature and the history of aesthetic thought. I earned a Ph.D. in English from the CUNY Graduate Center, after receiving an M.F.A. in painting from Yale. Having previously worked as a copy editor, I have an excellent ear for small nuances of meaning and tone.
