Biography

I am a second year PhD student who is co-enrolled in the Book History and Print Culture Collaborative Specialization Program. My current research explores early modern cryptographical practices, specifically focusing on early modern women's enciphered communications. I currently serve as a BHPC Printing Fellow at Massey College and as the Rare Books Fellow at the Centre for Renaissance and Reformation Studies. I hold a BA in English with a minor in Greek and Roman Studies from the University of Victoria, and an MA in Early Modern English Text and Transmission from King's College London.
