I’ve been teaching in the professional and technical writing emphasis in English at Utah Tech University since 2008. I also teach in the English Department’s graduate program, Technical Writing & Digital Rhetoric. I focus on composition, grammar, and editing classes such as Intermediate Writing, Elements of Grammar, Editing, and Advanced Editing.
I attained my Ph.D. in rhetoric at Texas Woman’s University in May 2008. I graduated Magna Cum Laude in 1999 with a Bachelor of Arts in English at the University of Maryland University College/Asian Division in Okinawa, Japan. I attained a Master of Arts in English at Midwestern State University in 2002.
My research interests include the developing rhetoric of new media, first-year university composition instruction, and technical writing.
