Biography and education
I attended an all-women's college for my undergraduate degree and double majored in English and Philosophy. After graduating with my MFA from the Jack Kerouac School of Disembodied Poetics at Naropa University, I attended the Philosophy & Literature PhD program at Purdue University. Under the guidance of Dr. Leonard Harris, I researched and wrote my dissertation on the topic of prison abolition, time, and liberation.
