I received my BA in Philosophy, Politics, Economics, and Law (PPEL) from BGSU in April 2024. With a primary interest in deconstructionism and Marxist theory, I am passionate about exploring their intersections despite their different approaches. My scholarly pursuits aim to analyze literature through the lenses of economic and social implications rooted in historical materialism, while challenging established structures of language and interpretation. When I’m not studying, I enjoy traveling and photography.
