I am the Director of the Writing Center at Dutchess Community College, in Poughkeepsie, NY, and I earned my PhD in English (with concentrations in Literature & Culture and Technology & New Media) from Old Dominion University. My research into serialized crime fiction produced through the nineteenth-century British publishing industry teed me up for the November 2022 crash-landing of ChatGPT into our educational worlds. Teaching writing and facilitating learning experiences where people can become confident communicators are my primary objectives.
