I recently earned a certificate with Cornell University in Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. I am a graduate of Hunter College where I earned a Masters degree in English Literature, Language, and Theory. My undergraduate work was at SUNY Old Westbury with a Bachelor of Arts in English Multicultural Literature with minors in both Psychology and Gender Studies. At my core, I am a Human Rights activist trying to pave a place for disabled women. My career goals are to teach English, advocate for disabled people, and continue my pursuit in education. I also am working at becoming a writer as well as a critical analyst of novels, memoirs, articles, and poetry.

John Clare lives vicariously through nature by composing and narrating his sonnets to his readers while actively observing his environment. He does this in order to make sense of his surroundings from a universal perspective, by allowing readers to feel connected to all creaturely life through the emotional experience and behavioral instincts that nature evokes. He converts his perspective to a universal one by connecting the same emotional experience through different creaturely lifestyles.
