Her work seeks to advance inquiry into how to teach and how to prepare future teachers in an age where the concept of literacy is expanding to include digital texts as well as print texts. She encourages her preservice teachers to include technology, digital texts, and contemporary young adult literature in their future classrooms. She holds a B.A. in English with Liberal Arts Honors from the University of Texas at Austin, a M.A. in English from Middlebury College's Bread Loaf School of English, and a Ph.D. in Curriculum and Instruction with a major in English Education from Florida State University.
