I am an Instructor at Langara College in Vancouver, B.C. (on unceded Musqueam territory). I study nineteenth-century politics and culture. One of my main interests is examining the poet Lord Byron’s relationship with Greece.
How has your Carleton English degree informed your professional and/or creative path?
I received my position at Langara College one month after I completed my Ph.D. My doctorate from Carleton led directly to a job for me.
Why Carleton? What specific experiences or opportunities did you benefit from while studying English at Carleton?
I had an amazing time at Carleton and that is in large part thanks to my supervisor Paul Keen and advisors Julie Murray and Andrew Wallace. All three were so generous with their time and knowledge; they made me a better scholar over the course of my Ph.D.
My Ph.D. peers — too many to name here — also contributed to my positive graduate school experience. We were a team, and I am grateful to all of them.
