After I finished my MPhil, I began my current job at Broadview Press. As a publisher’s representative, I discuss (and promote!) Broadview’s higher-education books with humanities professors in Canada and the United States. I still get to be involved in the world of academia, but from a very different perspective. My degree in English literature helps me every day: it’s the basis for my enthusiasm about the books Broadview publishes, and the reason I can relate in a real and honest way to the challenges instructors face in preparing their courses. Outside of my career, the creative writing community I found at Carleton continues to support and inspire my work.

Studying in Carleton’s English Department fostered my growth as both scholar and person. The dedication and passion of the professors is contagious…my classes were always engaging, always dynamic; they cemented my love of literature and gave me strong foundation for further studies. Beyond that, the community and support available in this department is unparalleled. I will never have enough good words to describe my time here.
