Maayan Ornath completed her undergraduate degree in English at UVA (2018) upon which she joined the MA program, and is currently a second-year graduate student.

She is currently teaching ENWR1510: Writing and Critical-Inquiry in the English department, and HEBR3020: Advanced Modern Hebrew in the Middle Eastern and South Asia Languages and Cultures department.

Her three-year long relationship with the DH field stems from her desire to intertwine digital tools with English literature in order to highlight different aspects of literature and rethink of our interpretation of it. Maayan is currently working on a pedagogical thesis on the concept of Native-Speakership and Teaching.  

When she is not teaching, grading, writing, or having fun with DH projects, she is a full-time wife and mother of two beautiful boys - a three-year-old and an infant.
