I am first-year Ph.D. student in the English Department at Princeton University. I graduated from Duke University in May 2024 with a B.S. in Computer Science, minor in Medieval and Renaissance Studies, and certificate in Information Science + Studies. My interests include: the intertexts and geographies of the texts, marginalia, and metadata of early printed books; comparative analyses of scriptural hermeneutics around early modern political, legal, and ethical issues, particularly conquest, colonization, and other such violations of Christian charity; Milton’s poetry, politics, and theology, as well as musical and theatrical adaptations of Milton’s works.
This site features my personal and collaborative work in the following classes and research projects:
- Scriptural references in the texts and marginalia of all sermon-related sections in early printed books
- Graphically modeling text coherence in persuasive essays
- Milton in Music: The Worthy Life - Analyzing how George Frideric Handel and his librettist, Charles Jennens, adapted John Milton's L'Allegro and Il Penseroso into an oratorio.
- The performance of the first act of a Shakespearean-style comedy written collaboratively
- Biblical marginalia in a select sample of early modern sermons
- 19th-century English novelists' use of clichés
- Mapping the publication of John Milton's printed works from 1637 to 1800
- Ethical Consumption Before Capitalism, Year 3: Printed Discourses on Tobacco and Opium
