Born and raised in New York, I graduated from Wellesley College in 1997 with a degree in English literature and experience tutoring writing. After a year in the English Ph.D. program at the University of California, Berkeley, I moved to Los Angeles and taught conversational English part-time while working in the rare book field. In 2001 I returned to Boston for an Ed.M. in teaching English to speakers of other languages (TESOL) at the BU School of Education. I’ve been a full-time instructor in the CAS Writing Program since September 2003. In addition to teaching in the BU Writing Program, I'm currently finishing up my Ed.D. in Literacy and Language. I live in the South End near Symphony Hall with my husband and my three-year-old son. You might see me riding back and forth on the BU Shuttle with my son, since he goes to daycare on campus.
I teach WR 097 and WR 098, the ESL writing classes mainly for first-year international students, as well as WR 100 and WR 150, general first-year composition and research. My usual teaching schedule is MWF 10:00-2:00, but check the course catalogue for specific times and sections. If you're in one of my classes, you should have access to our Digication or Blackboard site for information on readings, assignments, etc.
Broadly, I have research interests in composition, rhetoric, language, literacy, literature, and women's studies. My main research at this time focuses on the needs of math/science faculty when working with ESL writers at the graduate level.

I will be on leave Spring 2012, so I will not be holding standard office hours or be on campus regularly for most of that semester. If you are a former student looking for a reference during that time, however, I am still very happy to provide you with one. Contact me by email to work out the details.
