I am primarily interesting in researching the communication practices of candidates for elective office, specifically the presidency. My specific focus is on issues of marginalization and diversity within this realm of communication, especially in terms of gender and sexual orientation.

I have had the privilege of serving the Washburn community by being a part of College Faculty Council (CFC), CAS Dean's Strategic Planning Committee, and the Gender and Women's Studies Advisory Committee. I have also served my discipline in various organizations, including the Central States Communication Association, National Communication Association, American Mock Trial Association, National Forensics Association, National Parliamentary Debate Association, and Pi Kappa Delta.
