I earned my Ph.D. at the University of Illinois in Speech Communication, focusing on Organizational Communication. My dissertation studied the way small groups trying to organize without a hierarchy negotiated power. After graduate school I worked at the University of Nebraska at Omaha (UNO) until 2006. At UNO I taught Persuasion, Small Group Decision-Making and Introduction to Women’s Studies. I also studied local foodways and was active in the LGBTQ community. I taught as a visiting associate professor at Pace University between 2001-2003. In 2006, I moved to New York City to teach at BMCC. BMCC is truly my academic home where I teach public-speaking, small group decision-making, introduction to communication studies and am active in a variety of committees including the Academic Senate. I love my colleagues and my students and New York City and am happy to be here. I also love dogs and am trying to learn everything I can about permaculture and new ways of communicating for this new age in environmentalism.
