I am a full professor of English at Northern Arizona University (NAU). This site houses my “course of life”--the professional pieces that make up an academic’s life, including publications, presentations, teaching materials, and more. Here's my vita if you'd like to see it all once.

Alongside Fernando Sánchez, I serve as co-editor of the journal Rhetoric of Health and Medicine.

Before coming to NAU, I earned tenure in the Writing and Rhetoric Department at the University of Rhode Island. Prior to that I earned my MA and PhD at the Center for Writing Studies at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Before going to grad school, I taught middle school and high school English in Scottsdale, Phoenix, and Tucson, Arizona. I am originally from Tucson and earned my BA in English and Spanish Education at the University of Arizona. 

I delight in the Southwest and thrive in the outdoor experiences it provides.
