I am an Associate Professor in the Department of Writing Studies at the University of Miami. Before starting at UM, I spent 8 years at Michigan State University and 7 years a at Florida International University.
My scholarly interests are creative-critical rhetorics, user experience, and professional writing. I’m particularly drawn to work at the intersection of creativity and scholarly inquiry. My scholarship has appeared in journals such as Computers and Composition, Reflections, Kairos, Transactions on Professional Communication, Technical Communication, and the Journal of Technical Writing and Communication. My first book, Communicating Project Management, interrogated participatory approaches to managing knowledge work, leadership, and organizational change. My second monograph, Hold Me Down, is an album of original songs alongside an extended critical version of album liner notes and audio liner notes. It is currently under advance contract with the University of Michigan Press.
I am also an accomplished songwriter, best known for my work as singer/songwriter with the band No Address. As a solo artist I recorded, produced, and self-released an indie album called Stop For Nothing. I’ve also recently released the EP “…it’s the Callback” with the band The Callback.
