I am completing my doctorate in English Literature at Syracuse University. After finishing my Bachelor’s of Arts in English from the University of Kentucky, my love of British literature and poetry brought me to Cambridge for a year before attending Syracuse. Learning from the masters, including Shakespeare, Austen, and Joyce, has infused me with a love of the English language.This year, my experience as a TA in an Irish literature course has taught me so much about the way different people learn. After I graduate, my dream is to be a professor at one of the great institutions from which I have received my own education.
