Profile
I teach in First Year Writing, Professional Writing, and the Gifted and Talented program at Michigan State University. I’m also the director of WRAC’s Young Authors’ Conference. My interest in rhetoric and identity formation inform my research and teaching. I am currently researching learner-centered writing pedagogy in non-traditional and digital spaces, as well as rhetoric and identity formation in tabletop gaming.
