Biography

I received my B.A. in English from Kenyon College in 2017. Before starting at the University of Chicago, I spent two years in New York working at a nonprofit serving individuals experiencing homelessness through supportive housing and housing placement. My current research interests center on representations of urban poverty in Britain during the long 18th century.
