I recently received my MA in English Language and Literature from Central Michigan University (CMU) after completing my thesis in Victorian Literature on the novels of Charlotte Bronte. I currently teach Freshman Composition at CMU. I earned my Associate of Arts Degree from Muskegon Community College. While earning my AA degree, I served as a freelance writer for The Muskegon Chronicle, The Detroit News, and The Detroit Free Press. I completed my undergraduate work in English with a minor in History from the University of Northern Colorado in 1999. I have published literary research and criticism and am an active member of Sigma Tau Delta, Phi Alpha Theta, MLA and other scholarly organizations.
