I am a doctoral candidate in English, specializing in nineteenth-century literature, media, and archives. My background in librarianship shaped my abiding love of material collections and my interest in digital scholarship. My dissertation considers the mutually constitutive relationship between narrative form and the institutional systems of print culture in two areas: the first collected works editions of Charles Dickens and George Eliot, and the collecting history of their archives at Victorian and twentieth-century libraries in Britain and the US. My article, "Commemorative Print: Serialized Monuments during the Shakespeare Tercentenary Debates," was published in Journal of Victorian Culture in 2021. I am also currently preparing an article and research dataset comprising a census of all serialized fiction published in Britain in 1862, in order to better understand serialization practices and circulation between periodicals, books, and newspapers, in collaboration with Troy Bassett (Purdue Fort Wayne).

I am a contributing editor to At the Circulating Library, the most comprehensive database of Victorian fiction. I am currently (2019-21) the graduate student representative for North America to the board of the Research Society for Victorian Periodicals. I co-organize the Simpson Center-funded 18th/19th Century Graduate Research Cluster, an interdisciplinary group that facilitates reading groups, speakers, and colloquia on campus and in the Seattle area. I also help organize the V21 Collective's annual summer symposium for the Pacific Northwest region. In 2018-19, I was the assistant editor of Modern Language Quarterly. I have presented my work at conferences in the US, Canada, Britain, and Germany.
