I am currently a Lecturer in Comparative Literature at Binghamton University, State University of New York. At Binghamton, I teach World Literature I and II as well as classes on early modern English works.

My research spans the theater of Shakespeare and his contemporaries, gender studies, reception and adaptation studies (including theater, film, and the novel), and history of the book. My first book project, Getting Even: Gender, Genre, and the Revenge Plot in Early Modern Drama, charts how sixteenth- and seventeenth-century dramas of justice-seeking co-construct gender and genre.

Before coming to Binghamton, I was a Perkins-Cotsen Postdoctoral Fellow in the Princeton Society of Fellows. I hold a Ph.D. from Harvard University, master's degrees from Harvard and the University of Oxford, and a B.A. from Duke University. My academic writing has appeared in venues including Shakespeare Studies, Shakespeare Survey, Shakespeare, Notes and Queries, The Seventeenth Century Journal, English Literary Renaissance, and The Review of English Studies; I have also written academic reviews for Shakespeare Bulletin and Renaissance Quarterly. Beyond the academy, my writing has appeared in The Drift, Harvard Review, The Rambling, The Fence, Public Books, and Los Angeles Review of Books. I am working on a new introduction to Much Ado About Nothing for the Oxford World's Classics editions of Shakespeare.
