Research Overview

My research is situated at the intersections of composition theories and pedagogies and feminist-disability studies. Broadly speaking, I am interested in studying and developing accessible communication practices. To explore this topic, I turn to a variety of kairotic spaces: from the FYC classroom to the doctor's office. Because of this, my work spans a range of subfields, such as the following:

Writing program administration
Mentoring
Rhetorics of health and medicine
Disability studies
Feminist rhetorics
Composition theories and pedagogies

Upcoming conference presentations

Please join me at CCCC 2025 where I will be presenting my paper, "Remixing Identity: Exploring Neuroqueer Narratives through Graphic Pathographies" on the panel "The B-Sides of Assessment: Centering Neuro-Atypical and Neuro-Marginalized Experiences and Access in Writing Assessment" alongside Jennifer Ferrell, Jason McCormick, and Sara Thomas (with Stephanie Kerschbaum as respondent).

I had the pleasure of presenting at the 2024 Writing & Wellbeing Conference at the University of Arizona on the panel Writing While Crip: The Well-being of Writing Professors with Disabilities with Molly Ubbesen and C.R. Grimmer. You can access the panel script and slides.
