Bio

I am originally from Pennsylvania, earning my B.A. at King’s College in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania in 2016, and I completed my M.A. at Seton Hall University in South Orange, New Jersey in 2018. My research areas include Victorian Literature (particularly Sherlock Holmes), and the intersection of Popular Culture and the Victorian Period, particularly when it comes to adaptation and Adaptation Theory. However, I am also interested in contemporary popular culture.
