My research interests include premodern poetry, trans studies, and classical reception history. My dissertation examines four specific figures in late medieval and early modern literature: the monstrous birth, the virgin, the hermaphrodite, and the angel. I show how these figures challenge the fantasy of premodern England as a place where knights were knights, ladies were ladies, and everyone was white.

Before coming to Penn, I received a BA in English and Gender & Women's Studies from Pomona College. I hold graduate certificates from the Program in Gender, Sexuality, and Women’s Studies and Penn's Center for Teaching and Learning. I was a coordinator of the Gen/Sex Working Group (2020–22) and the Med/Ren Working Group (2022–23). Throughout 2022–24, I was a Graduate Associate for the Philadelphia Trans Oral History Project run by the Center for Research in Feminist, Queer, and Transgender Studies. My writing has appeared or is forthcoming in College Literature, Early Theatre, Exemplaria, Medieval Ecocriticisms, and The Routledge Companion to Queer Literary Studies.
