I am a rhetorician, scholar, instructor, and part-time writing consultant and editor currently based in Austin, TX. I earned my PhD at the University of Texas at Austin studying Rhetoric with a focus on Digital Literacy and Literature. My academic research centers on the relationship between technology and political rhetoric from an intersectional feminist, postcolonial lens. My pedagogical experience lies primarily in teaching undergraduate college rhetoric and writing and curriculum design, including two writing-intensive courses of my own design, with specific experience in digital pedagogy methods. My professional background also includes training and working as a writing consultant at the UT Austin University Writing Center (UWC), as a freelance consultant in technical, academic, and professional writing, as a writing instruction liaison working with historically excluded student groups at the Longhorn Center for Academic Excellence, and in digital content production, digital research methods, and instructor support as a graduate student assistant researcher for the Digital Writing and Research Lab (DWRL) at UT Austin. I am also a professionalization mentor and consultant at UNITE-LA’s “Step Into Tech program, a nonprofit that provides support to participants who have been impacted by the criminal justice system (such as formerly incarcerated people and their families) with an interest in entering technical fields.
