While serving on the Education Advisory Committee to the Digital Public Library of America, I curated sets of primary sources and created teaching guides on topics in American literature and culture ranging from Uncle Tom's Cabin and The Awakening to rock 'n roll and women in the temperance movement.
Since 2011, I have participated in scoring AP English Literature Exams. I also have served as a test developer, field test coordinator, content specialist, and judge for various national exams.
