I'm a Marion L. Brittain Fellow at Georgia Institute of Technology, where I study literate activity in citizen/community science, examining how norms around expertise and citizenship shape public involvement in science. I received my PhD from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, where I contributed to Writing Across the Curriculum (WAC) work as a researcher on the transdisciplinary team Writing Across Engineering and Science. 

I teach first-year writing, technical communication and multimodal composition courses, taking a collaborative, community-based approach to writing pedagogy. When teaching disciplinary communication, I help students find ways to center their own identities and discuss issues they care about, eschewing supposed divides between politics and research. 

In my administrative work, I mentor other teachers, archive pedagogical resources, and organize professional development events on topics such as multimodal pedagogy and alternative assessment.
