About Me
I am a PhD canidate and composition instructor in the English department at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. My research takes a postcolonial approach to examine the ways race, gender, and national origin in nineteenth century children’s texts—or texts featuring children—shaped the arguments of human rights activists within abolitionist and Native American rights movements. As a teacher, I am always actively seeking ways to develop and encorporate anti-racist teaching methods, approaches, and materials into each of my courses.
My family name means small mountain. For them, I persist and climb.

I am in the English Literature and Cultural Theory track with an emphasis in British Literature and Culture of the Nineteenth Century. My background in postcolonial from the UMD has continued with my studies at the UWM, and guides my approach to reading the arguments of authors who contributed to anti-slavery reform movements in Britian and the US.
