Teaching Experience

I love teaching essays because they help us attend to the wonders of the world, make connections, and discover meaning in humble ways.

Research

I study widely and wildly everything that catches my interest and I try to integrate what I learn into my essay writing.

Service

At BYU I’ve worked largely within creative writing, hoping to be part of a generous and generative literary community: organizing the weekly reading series, facilitating Inscape, the student-run literary magazine, coordinating the MFA program and the introduction to creative writing class.
