Among the schools at which I have taught are Loyola Marymount University, Emory University, Dominican University, Lake Superior State University, and the University of St. Francis. Institutions at which I have held trainings include Cal State Los Angeles, Loyola University of Chicago, and Illinois Institute of Technology. I have presented work at conferences at Princeton University, Yale University, Tufts University, University of St. Andrews, Oxford University, University of Erlangen-Nürnberg, St. Mary's University, Emory University, University of Tokyo, and University of Iowa. Other conferences include the American Academy of Religion, the Society of Biblical Literature, the North American Patristics Society, Oxford Patristics, the International Conference on the Ancient Novel, and the St.-Serge Semaine Liturgique. I have spent summers doing research at Corinth, the Vatican, Weimar, and Munich. Upcoming projects are with Oxford UP, Baylor UP, and Heidelberg. 

 

In addition to my work in the nonprofit and education sectors, I have published in national media. Topics have ranged from California suffrage tea to ancient Roman staged sea battles. My work has appeared in The Atlantic, Washington Post, Paste, Religion & Politics, America, Busted Halo, Bust, and TED-Ed. 

 

Last but certainly not least, at one point in my life, I was ranked among the top ten geography students in the state of California. I also won state-level prizes for History Day papers on Methodist women missionaries in Oregon, Chartres Cathedral, and the California Aqueduct.
