I study United States literature after World War II, with a specific interest in postmodern and maximalist texts and the digital humanities after the Cold War. I have written about David Foster Wallace, Thomas Pynchon, Don DeLillo, and Matthew McIntosh, paying specific attention to how these authors treat the emergence of computer algorithms and the growth of artificial intelligence. I have also published work in New Media Studies, including an article about the video game Kentucky Route Zero.

I received my B.A. in Honors English at Wilfrid Laurier University, my M.A. from the University of British Columbia, and my Ph.D. from UBC. I started teaching at UBC in 2022.
