About Rebecca

I graduated from Bard College where I majored in American Literature. There I was employed for three years as an on-campus Writing Fellow, helping Freshmen work on drafting argument-based essays for their core class. While studying abroad at The University of Oxford I became knowledgeable in a good deal of medieval literature in addition to turning a paper around in very short periods of time. Since then, I left academia for a bit working in the in Journalism and Television industries where I wrote everything from pitches to major TV networks (A&E, Bravo, Discovery, BBC America, etc.) and scripts for promotional shoots. (Those years also made me a whiz!). In 2019, I returned to the world of academia to get a Humanities MA. I am finishing up my thesis on Poe and materialism for a fall graduation at The University of Chicago. I have already been hired as a Lector to work with underclassman in the campus writing center starting in Spring.
