I teach interdisciplinary and research writing as well as discovery core experience (DCX) courses in the First-Year and Pre-Major Program. My pedagogical practices focus on collaborative learning, school-life education, and community building. I seek to engage my own academic and personal interests in the courses I teach because I believe that the optimal course outcomes are predicated upon not only the collaboration and learning between the students but also those between the students and me as their instructor. It is through these kinds of organic and dynamic student-student and student-instructor relationships that I endeavor to educate students and myself on the ever-changing ways of learning and living with others via the collaborative acts of reading and writing. The themes of my courses center on the investigation of human and animal perspectives on the environment, biodiversity in composition, and connection between natural science and literature. I encourage students to create multimodal, interdisciplinary, and research-based projects that enable them to establish and build an unconventional world with their own unique perspectives.

My research specializations and interests include poetry and poetics, world literature, translation studies, critical animal studies, and environmental humanities.
