Available to hire
I am a multidisciplinary writer and researcher with a deep focus on 20th and 21st-century Gothic-mystical literature in the US and Russia, and a track record spanning academia, teaching, and creative writing. My work explores modern and postmodern Gothic influences across Soviet and Southern American literatures, with ongoing engagements in film theory, archives, and curriculum design. I thrive at the intersection of scholarly inquiry and creative practice, mentoring students and collaborating internationally to bridge research with production and pedagogy.
Over my 20-year career, I have contributed to academic journals, worked in editorial and publishing contexts, and supported education initiatives in Europe, Russia, and the United States. I am passionate about archives, film production, and teaching, and I enjoy developing interdisciplinary projects that combine literary analysis, pedagogy, and creative storytelling.
