For a peek into my academic work, and a chance to learn a little more about writing, poetry, or literary studies, have a look at some of the PowerPoint Slideshows I've written over the years! These presenations represent just a fraction of the work I've done. They'll go in chonological order from oldest at the top to newest at the bottom, so you'll even see how I've grown. :)
