For anyone who might be looking for me, I grew up in Chico, California and graduated from Chico High School. I majored in Spanish at the University of California Santa Cruz, and was a member of Kresge College, though I only lived on campus one year. I did a junior year abroad with the University of California and University of Illinois program in Barcelona. After graduating, I taught English for a year at the Oxford English Academy in Molins de Rei and Sant Feliu de Llobregat outside Barcelona (I was an English professor at Oxford). I did a Ph. D. in Spanish Literature at University of Michigan. I have taught at Drew University, SUNY New Paltz and at Michigan State University. I am currently an Assistant Professor at Oklahoma State University where I teach all levels of Spanish and conduct research on Medieval Iberian Literature. My main interest is Alfonsine historiography and I also work on the Libro de buen amor.
