I earned my PhD in Communication Studies from the University of Denver with a primary focus on interpersonal and family communication and a secondary focus on qualitative methods.
My teaching focuses on interpersonal and relational communication courses and qualitative method courses. In addition, I am building a course pertaining to the "Dark Side" of personal relationships and a course examining the intersection of family communication and health communication.
My research agenda focuses on two primary avenues of scholarship. First, I examine the various ways in which individuals discursively construct meanings of family and familial identities when these identities do not align with culturally privileged understandings of family.
