I earned my B.A. in English from Middle Georgia State University, my M.A. in English from Georgia College and State University, and my Ph.D. in Literary Studies with a concentration in Victorian literature from Georgia State University where I taught English Composition I and II (themed on Marvel Comics and American society) for three years.

I have previously taught at Georgia College and State University, Georgia Military College, Middle Georgia State University, and at Central Georgia Technical College. 

Besides reading, I enjoy watching Victorian and Regency period dramas and certain anime, as well as going hiking, baking, and gardening.
