I am a Ph.D. candidate in Literature at Arizona State University, currently working on completing my dissertation titles "Digital Shakespeares and the Performance of Relevance." My project traces the influences of digital media as they are adopted by Shakespeaerean theaters and festivals and incorporated into their performance and marketing practices. Beyond the scope of this project, I am also interested in media and adaptation studies, video game theory, and the "messy" field of digital humanities.
