In 2010 I received my Ph.D. in Slavic Languages & Literatures from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, after completing a dissertation on Nikolai Gogol in Russian literary criticism in the modernist period. Since 2009 I have been a lecturer at the University of Pennsylvania, where I have taught courses on Russian language, literature, and culture, but in the fall I will be moving to California to begin a post-doctoral fellowship at Stanford. This will be my first year at Middlebury, and when I am not teaching, expect to see me reacquainting my children with trees and grass after living in downtown Philadelphia for the past two years
