I received my PhD in Medieval Romance Languages and Literatures at Boston College. From 2001 to 2003, I was the NEH Decameron Web Project Director in the Department of Italian Studies at Brown University. From 2003 to 2004, I was a post-doctoral fellow in the same department working on the Esposizioni, and the Decameron Web. Presently, I am a Visiting Assistant Professor at the College of the Holy Cross in Worcester, MA. My areas of research are Boccaccio, Cavalcanti, and the Florentine intellectuals of the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries. My research interests are: rhetoric, linguistics and the medieval art of preaching. I am also a member of the editorial board of Heliotropia.
For the VHL, I work on the Esposizioni   with particular attention to the Florentine audience and the reception of Boccaccio’s commentary. Being an editor for the Esposizioni allows me to dive into a newly found passion: markup theory.
