I grew up in Eugene, Oregon and received my BA in Sociology and minor in Creative Writing from the University of Oregon. I am now in my second year in the Applied English graduate program at HSU. My research asks how language used in online memes (memetic language) contributes to or exemplifies counter-hegemonic rhetorics. Other research interests include: Gender/Sexuality studies, Critical Theory, Digital Humanities, Queer Theory, Feminist Theory, and many others. Outside of school and research, I enjoy cycling, scrapbooking, baking, card games (cribbage is my favorite), and having as many plants as possible in my living space. I am still undecided on whether I will continue on to a PhD program or begin work in the editing and publishing field following graduation, but either way, I am excited to apply the knowledge and skills I am gaining in this program to ways of thinking and doing research.
