I am a researcher of digital literature and culture. In December 2024, I completed my PhD in English at Western University and my dissertation received the 2024 Carl. F. and Margaret E. Klinck Prize for an Outstanding Thesis in Canadian Literature. I was also a 2022-2023 Visiting Fulbright Scholar at Duke University.
Beyond this, I am the Co-Founder and Lead Director of Digital Literary Cultures (DLC+), an open-access resource for scholars of digital literary culture broadly defined. You may have seen my work published in venues like the European Journal of English Studies and the Australasian Journal of Popular Culture. Currently, I am at work on a book project about the relationship between reading and self-care culture in the social media age.
My research has been featured on Canada’s flagship broadcaster CBC News, and I have recently provided expert insight on the evolving public function of libraries in the social media age due to phenomena like #BookTok for The Globe and Mail.
