As a teacher of writing and literature, I seek to empower students through a critical and creative understanding of how best to harness media and technologies, old and new, as a means to envision and achieve success in their professional lives. As a researcher, I have written in the areas of Irish literature, modernism, technology, and globalization. On my off-time, I hike, write, play guitar, play chess, and collect old typewriters.
