Academic Work
This section brings together selected graduate-level academic work, including my MLIS portfolio, coursework artifacts, research projects, and my master’s thesis in English literature. These materials reflect my development as a scholar, educator, and information professional, with attention to research, writing, analysis, librarianship, access, representation, and professional practice.
My master’s thesis, The Ganymede Myth from Homer’s Greece to Marlowe’s England, was completed for my MA in English Literature at Mercy College, now Mercy University. The thesis examines how the figure of Ganymede evolved across classical, medieval, and early modern literature. The project focuses on Ganymede as a symbol of homoerotic desire and considers how Christopher Marlowe’s Dido, Queen of Carthage uses myth, comedy, and classical tradition to represent queer meaning within a restrictive historical context.
My MLIS portfolio brings together selected coursework, reflections, and artifacts from my Master of Library and Information Science program at the University of South Florida. The portfolio highlights my growth as a school media specialist, educator, and information professional, with emphasis on access, information services, leadership, technology, research, and professional practice.
