She holds an office in Room 340 and maintains office hours during Fall 2024 on Wednesdays from 2:30–3:30 PM (in-person) and by virtual appointment via WebEx.

Her published works include The Routledge Companion to Ecopoetics (2024) and Poetics for the More-Than-Human World (2021/2020), which analyze how poetry engages with ecological crises and non-human entities. Earlier work like From Place Studies to Global Concerns (2010) explores integrating ecocritical perspectives into educational curricula.
