I’m an advanced PhD Candidate in the Department of Rhetoric and Writing at the University of Texas at Austin.
As a community-engaged researcher, I work with people to organize around and negotiate the multimodal experience of digital systems.
My work has appeared or is forthcoming in journals such as Community Literacy Journal, Rhetoric Review, Kairos: A Journal of Rhetoric, Technology, and Pedagogy, and Digital Scholarship in the Humanities.
My research specialities are in digital rhetorics, community literacy, and sound studies.
My research has been financially supported by the Modern Language Association, Initiative for Digital Humanities, and Rapoport Center for Human Rights and Social Justice.
As an educator, my goal is to help students mobilize their multimodal literacies to advocate for change in their local community.
