An Ivy League-educated scholar with a PhD in English and an MFA in Creative Writing, I bring over a decade of university teaching experience across creative industries, marketing, literature, and drama. My academic work bridges the humanities and business disciplines, emphasizing experiential learning, consumer analytics, and case-based pedagogy. I have been recognized with prestigious fellowships and literary awards, including the Zell Postgraduate Fellowship and a Palanca Award Honorable Mention. My teaching philosophy integrates creative practice with rigorous research, and I have mentored students in theatre production, creative writing, and interdisciplinary projects. As a former VP Finance and VP Student Services, I have also contributed to academic governance and student life. My commitment to equity, diversity, and responsible entrepreneurship informs both my scholarship and my classroom practice.
