I am currently an assistant professor of rhetoric & writing at the the University of Texas at Austin. I teach courses in environmental communication, information design, user-experience design, and nonprofit writing. Previously, I was a founding member and senior researcher with Detroit Integrated Vision for Environmental Research through Science and Engagement (D•VERSE) and an affiliated senior research with Michigan State University’s Writing in Digital Environments (WIDE) center. Additionally, I served as an executive board member for the Michigan Environmental Justice Coalition, which works to achieve a clean, healthy, and safe environment for Michigan’s most vulnerable residents in alignment with the Principles of Environmental Justice. My research centers on the dynamics of environmental public policy deliberation, environmental justice, and environmental community-based participatory research.
