Background
I grew up in Evergreen, Colorado and did my undergraduate studies in medieval history and Italian at the University of Colorado at Boulder. After graduating in 2004, I was able to pursue my long-standing dream of studying Persian and Arabic, which I did at the University of Chicago under Franklin Lewis, Heshmat Moayyad, Farouk Mustafa, Tahera Qutbuddin, and many other members of the faculty. I received my Ph.D. in Persian literature in 2015; that same year, I was honored to join the U-M faculty at the Department of Near Eastern Studies.
