About Me
Give me all things writerly and rhetorical. My latest research investigates digital media practices and emotions, and I teach courses in rhetoric, composition, and professional writing. Before I started my doctoral work, I directed a freshmen reading program and taught composition and journalism courses. Years prior I wrote technical support documents with software developers, and I reported for local newspapers and national magazines. I take pride in being a flexible colleague who can teach and research a range of writing inquiries.
