Curriculum Vitae

Associate Professor

English

My research interests include rhetorics of health and medicine, feminist rhetoric, and writing pedagogy. My recent book, Patient Sense: Rhetorical Body Work in the Age of Technology, examines how new providers’ leverage their intuitive patient sense in the face of increasingly technology-mediated healthcare in nursing simulations, physical therapy labs, and a virtual intensive care unit. I have two current research projects underway: 1) Exploring the role of embodiment in instructors' and students' literacy experiences with Large Language Models and 2) Improving communication with emerging health technologies in interprofessional health education.

As a writing teacher, I aim for my courses to act as venues for students to practice being critical readers and writers in their future disciplines, professions, and lives. Many of my courses include fieldwork—much like my own research—to help students not just acquire different modes of writing, but also better understand how communication practices can exclude and oppress others and how they might be changed.
