Graduate Associate

B.A. in Comparative Literature, Brigham Young University

Hailing from the frigid climes of Minnesota, Jane is a first year English M.A. candidate who is enjoying both her program and the warmer winters in D.C. Jane graduated magna cum laude from Brigham Young University in 2010 with a B.A. in Comparative Literature and a minor in Italian. After a year spent in retail, she realized the benefits of more schooling, and is delighted to be at Georgetown, where she is interested in exploring genre in the classroom and strengthening her understanding of critical theory.

As she anticipates a career in teaching, Jane is excited to be involved with CNDLS, where she works as an assistant for the Apprenticeship in Teaching Program. She looks forward to exploring a variety of pedagogical strategies to become a more effective teacher.

In her free time, she enjoys watching British television, going for long walks, and visiting museums in D.C.
