I am an editor and writer who uses these skills for mission-driven organizations as well as for private clients, for whom I specialize in manuscript preparation and developmental editing. I have experience in SEO content creation, social media marketing, and video production, skills I have used in the past as a media expert for foundations and individuals.I came to this work from academia, where I earned my PhD in English literature, specializing in the history of gender and sexuality. I have spent many years working as an educator, scholar, writer, and editor in pedagogical contexts, most recently as a Visiting Assistant Professor of English Literature at Colby College in Waterville, Maine. I am passionate about local history, community sustainability, wild foods, economic and educational justice, gender and racial equity, and disability rights. My varied employment history reflects my commitment to these values, from the many years I've spent as an educator in traditional, non-traditional, and activist educational spaces, to the volunteering I've done at historical and cultural sites, to my work serving disability justice organizations in New York City. I am also the author of numerous peer-reviewed scholarly articles, a number of essays which have appeared in popular venues, and the co-editor of a forthcoming book, for SUNY Press, on humanist approaches to rape prevention. In my free time, I write fiction and literary non-fiction.
