About

Associate Teaching Professor, Department of Writing Arts
Rowan University

I am an Associate Teaching Professor in the Writing Arts department at Rowan University, where I teach classes in the First-Year Writing Program, Technical & Professional Writing Program, and Health & Science Communication Program.

In my writing, research, and teaching, I currently focus on digital information literacy, student research practices, generative AI and writing and research pedagogy, rhetorics of technology and medicine, and media studies.

My research background is in early American literature and culture and the rise of institutionalized medicine. My dissertation, “The Resurrection and the Knife: Protestantism, Nationalism, and the Contest for the Corpse During the Rise of American Medicine” (2019), examines how advocates for anatomical medicine in the early American republic defended medical training through dissection by framing anatomy as a Protestant spiritual and civic initiative.
