  Doctor of Philosophy - PhD

  My doctorate is a degree in comparative literature between Early Modern Spain and England. The University of Louisville Comparative Humanities program provides a general survey of the humanities to all doctoral students (literature

  history

  and art history)

  then gives the students flexibility to center around a specific area of study. I applied my education in Medieval Studies from previous institutions to my doctoral career

  finished the university's Graduate Certificate in Medieval and Renaissance Studies as part of my coursework

  and wrote a dissertation entitled \"Reading the Readers: Analyses of Cervantine and Shakespearean Characters as (Dys)functional Readers.\"

  Bachelor of Arts - BA

  I was a double major in Spanish and Medieval Studies during my four years

  which allowed for not only excellent backgrounds in both majors

  but a combined experience which culminated in an immersive study abroad experience in Spain and Morocco

  and classes in Spanish history and art history. In my final semester

  I wrote my Spanish Honors Thesis entitled \"Don Juan Manuel's 'El Conde Lucanor': A Convergence of Literary and Oral Traditions in Medieval Spain.\"
