About Me

I am an Assistant Professor of Communication and the Assistant Director of the First-Year Experience for the University of Pikeville. I also continue to work as an adjunct faculty member for the University of Memphis, teaching various public speaking and communication courses. Within these capacities, my personal goal is to refine my pedagogical approach as a University level educator while simultaneously creating programming aimed at assisting underserved students. My primary research agenda is grounded in the rhetoric of apology and, more specifically, in the contexts of political communication. Secondary research agendas I hold include interests in Health communication/palliative care, digital pedagogy technologies, and first-year experience programming.​
