About

Public speaker, tour guide, and educator who helps visitors and residents discover Chicago through film. Also, hardcore Gene Kelly fan.
In 2020, I started Chicago Movie Tours in order to share my knowledge of classic and contemporary film (and television) with visitors to and residents of Chicago.

Before starting Chicago Movie Tours, I spent more than a decade as a professor of film and media studies. 

My writings on film and television have appeared in books, the popular press, peer-reviewed journals, and encyclopedias. My work on Seinfeld, classical Hollywood stars, and teaching with Twitter has also been featured on podcasts, local TV, and international radio programs.

For fun, I run and walk local races, wrangle my two rescue pups, and curate a Gene Kelly fansite. 

I hold a Ph.D. in Humanities, an M.A. in English, and a B.A. in English with minors in history and French.
