Biography

I am in my fourth year of the French PhD program, having been swept here by a teenage love affair with one Marcel Proust. I am currently exploring the history social anxiety in Francophone prose narrative from the early modern period to the present.

I grew up in a trailer, earned my BA in French with a minor in English at Portland State University, and now live in San Francisco with my partner.
