Hi! Thanks for visiting my page.

I am really excited to be living here in Ithaca, and to be working at the College. Currently, my primary responsibilities at the undergraduate level are to teach classes focusing on organizational/corporate communication issues:

Crisis Communications, Government and Stakeholder Relations, Communication in International Organizations, Organizational Speechwriting and Interviewing, Human Communication in Organizations, Organizational Culture and Conflict, Corporate Communication, and a series of courses in Professional Development (I, II, & III).

At the graduate level, I teach the following courses:  Crisis Communications, Diversity and Organizational Culture, and Theoretical Foundations.

In terms of research interests, my primary areas of expertise are: crisis communication, public relations, social media/technology and issues related to gender/sexuality.

On a personal note, I am most passionate about food-- the cooking and eating of it! Aside from getting my PhD, I took culinary arts classes at the Illinois Institute of Art in Chicago. That was an awesome experience that I hope to continue at some point in time. If you are at all interested in the connection between food and communication, please check out the newly published book Food as communication/Communication as food.
