I have been an active member of Sigma Tau Delta, the English
honor society, since 1998. Recently I participated in a panel presentation
focused on popular culture criticism at the March 2000 conference here
in Savannah, GA. I will be presenting a paper (a critical look at conflicting
ideologies at work in the text of television's "Ally McBeal") at the organization's
springtime Literary Festival in April. In February, I was part of a panel
presentation concerning the state of writing centers at the Southeastern
Writing Center Association's annual conference, also in Savannah. In May
of 1999, I received Armstrong Atlantic State University's annual award
for Outstanding English Major. I enjoy literature, the study of popular
culture, black and white photography, and I am a film student and enthusiast.
