My primary research interests involve rhetoric and writing and their appropriation for business purposes, combining practical and theoretical study of professional writing. 

A recent graduate of George Mason University’s Master of Arts in Professional Writing and Editing, I completed my thesis in May 2007 on New Media genres and Corporate Rhetoric.  At present, I am working as a technical writer and proposal manager for a small government contractor and am a lab instructor for SOM 301 Business Models: A Communications Approach at GMU.

My previous editing and writing work has included academic publishing as the assistant editor of So to Speak: a feminist journal of language and art, and well as contributing to the government publications lifecycle for incidents of national significance, such as the After-Action Reports for Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, the University of Oklahoma bombing, and the Rhode Island Station Nightclub Fire.
