I am a Visiting Assistant Professor in the Communication and Digital Studies Department at the University of Mary Washington. I earned my Ph.D. in Communication Studies from the University of Pittsburgh, where I explored rhetoric of Pittsburgh’s parks system in my dissertation. My research highlights rhetoric of place and space, science and environmental communication, and AI pedagogy. A few projects I am current working on include studying uses of virtual reality to support oral communication practice, rhetoric of tipping points in climate change discourse, and rhetoric of dignity and rhetorical museology.
