About

I am a scholar of writing studies and an assistant professor of English at Park University, a private, non-profit school delivering a liberal arts education in the Kansas City area, where I oversee the first-year writing program and am developing our offerings in professional and technical communication.

My doctorate is in technical communication and rhetoric, and within my program I focused on composition and writing program administration. My dissertation addresses issues in online writing instruction and teacher preparation. Additionally, my bachelor's and master's degrees emphasized creative nonfiction writing, and professionally I have worked as an editor of scholarly, literary, and technical writing. On top of that, I make a hobby of web design (you're looking at an example of my work right now).
