I earned my MFA in Fiction from Lesley University in 2023. During this time, I produced seminars and crafted academic essays to better educate peers on topics that align with my interests. These include the effectiveness of dark humor as a literary technique, the meaningful impact that aphoristic social commentary can have on novels, and more.
Craft Essay
“Allow Me to Interject: How Can Aphoristic Social Commentary Enhance Our Appreciation for a Literary Work (While Not Distracting the Reader?)”
Graduate Seminar
“Laughing the Pain Away: How Writers Use Dark Humor to Cope with Hardship, Call Out Hypocrisy, and Everything in Between.”
