Welcome to my website & blog! I am a writer, teacher, and traveler. Seeing the world and studying literature has profoundly transformed my sense of beauty, and I hope to share some of the beauty I’ve experienced with the world via this site.

My blog is a collection of shorter writing pieces, whether journalistic, academic, or creative. I will also share pictures and updates of my endeavors in teaching, service, and travel. You can find links to the five most recent blog posts on the sidebar.

Here are a few examples of what you might read about here…

• Adventures in teaching and travel, such as Teaching English as a second language in Africa
• Essays contemplating the deeper meaning behind classic texts. For example, Is Iago an extension of Othello’s ego?
• Creative writing, from plays to poetic prose.

I am also a Christian, and my faith will be visible in many of my blog posts. I’m a Hufflepuff, chai connoisseur, and feline enthusiast.

Enjoy!
