About the Expert:
My master's degree was gained at the University of Memphis. My thesis was a structural study of Les Miserables through the lens of folktales. I am now a doctoral student in the Professional Writing sector of the English Department. I will soon have my teaching cetificate in African American Literature as well. My dissertation will focus on how the world of work is either accepting, accommodating, or rejecting the visibly tattooed.
