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, health communication, and qualitative research.
My research agenda focuses on two primary avenues of scholarship. First, I examine the intersection of family and health communication by studying the various ways in which individuals discursively construct meanings of family and health identities when these identities do not align with culturally privileged understandings. My second body of work focuses on relational dialectics theory and its use in developing the field of critical interpersonal and family communication.
