I've been at UM-Dearborn since 2013, teaching classes in rhetoric, writing, technical writing, and global studies. I help advise the Professional Writing & Rhetoric major, and I am currently a faculty representative on the Zine: Students as Partners editorial board. Outside of UM-Dearborn, I serve as an editorial board member of Prompt, a journal about writing assignments as well as for Women's Studies Quarterly (WSQ).
