I am a self-motivated and responsible individual striving to make her mark in the literary and creative world while helping others accomplish the same. Graduating with a B.A. in English and a minor in Women's and Gender Studies from Coastal Carolina University in 2020, I continued my education with CCU's Master of Arts in Writing program to enhance my skills in teaching, editing, and writing. Throughout my graduate studies, I served as a graduate teaching assistant in the university’s Writing Center as well as First-Year Composition and Creative Writing classrooms before continuing on as a lecturer of First-Year Composition after obtaining my Master’s degree in 2022. Thanks to these experiences, I’ve gained more knowledge in a field I've grown deeply passionate about over the years, and I’ve developed a confident ability to teach, lesson-plan, grade, and guide scholars efficiently as they navigate through their academic endeavors. Carrying my editorial experience as an undergraduate student over to my time as a graduate student, I've served as Assistant Poetry Editor and Poetry Co-Editor for Waccamaw Journal for two consecutive years. For several years now, I have also facilitated and organized a monthly local open-mic and poetry night, Tongues In Common, where local students, writers, and creatives can gather, connect, and share their written work or music. As a creative writer, I’ve been fortunate enough to have had my work published several times and recognized for awards. Other passions include poetry and creative writing, social justice, travel, supporting the arts and underrepresented communities, and finding joy in life while connecting with others.

Graduate Teaching AssistantCoastal Carolina University Aug 2020 - May 2021Courses: ENGL 102 Composition and Critical Reading, ENGL 301 Forms of Creative WritingIn this role, I educate students online (due to COVID-19) under the mentorship of experienced professors. Throughout my first semester, I worked in freshman composition classrooms co-teaching, holding office hours, providing written and verbal feedback, lecturing, lesson planning, and facilitating/leading class activities via Zoom and Moodle. Carrying much of these developed skills over to the Spring ‘21 semester, I was fortunate enough to assist in a creative writing classroom in which we conducted creative writing activities, read creative work, introduced writing and revision techniques, and helped students build creative writing portfolios consisting of revised poetry, fiction, and creative nonfiction. In this space, I delivered partial and occasional full lesson plans, provided feedback on creative work, kept records of attendance and assignments, helped tweak lesson design and contributed deliverable ideas, and shared reminders to help students stay on track. -
Poetry Co-EditorWaccamaw Journal Aug 2021 - Dec 2021Coastal Carolina UniversityWaccamaw Journal is a literary publication largely produced by Coastal Carolina University's Master of Arts in Writing graduate students. Serving as Poetry Co-Editor for Issue 26, I was responsible for going through poetry submissions, assembling poetry packets for editorial meetings, facilitating discussion, copyediting accepted poems, and corresponding with the accepted poets via Submittable. In addition to that, I assisted with going through submissions of other genres, voting, and participating in editorial meetings in which we discuss craft, content, and form of several submissions highly considered for publication."As one of our contributors reminds us, we’re 60% water and we’re used to moving against it. In this issue, water is an abiding presence: cleansing, creating, renewing, destroying. In grief, a woman climbs over a rocky shoreline to swim in salty water, where everything is silent except that rushing noise. To test the shells of cannoli, sisters place them in boiling water, where even in water, they stay intact. An illicit lover is stranded on volcanic rocks as the tide rolls in, where the seals pass below without glancing up at her. Where the sand migrates south to some other coastal town, engineers dredge sand from the ocean floor to hold off the eroding effects of beachfront development and climate change. Moored between our namesake river and the Atlantic Ocean, in the heavy heat of Carolina, we lifted this 26th issue of Waccamaw from the water–like a good bird flying."Issue 26 can be accessed below.

Assistant Poetry EditorWaccamaw Journal Aug 2020 - May 2021Coastal Carolina UniversityWaccamaw Journal is a literary publication largely produced by Coastal Carolina University's Master of Arts in Writing graduate students. Serving as Poetry Assistant Editor for Issue 25, I was responsible for going through poetry submissions, facilitating discussion, and assembling poetry packets for editorial meetings. In addition to that, I assisted with going through submissions of other genres, voting, and participating in editorial meetings in which we discuss craft, content, and form of several submissions highly considered for publication."In this 25th issue of Waccamaw, our contributors dreamt. They dreamt of bones 'rewritten and rescripted and then reburied with dirt and snow and sweat,' of electrical storms in a grandfather’s heart, of our house illuminated with gaslight, and of nestlings born too soon under winter’s sky. They dreamt Johnny Cash singing, 'I don’t like it but I guess things happen that way,' as stars burn out and fall. But they found more than bitter moments and afternoons near the end. They remembered a shared cigarette after a devastating tornado, acknowledged hate and love for a father, half dream and half ghost.Pandemic-deep in Zoom meetings, we dreamed up an issue for a devastating year that demanded new images and new voices."Issue 25 can be accessed below.
