I serve as an Assistant Professor of Technical Communication at Missouri University of Science & Technology, where my research explores the interplay of political communication technologies, apocalyptic rhetoric, and crisis messaging in shaping public discourse, informing policy, and influencing our collective future. My work has been published in respected journals such as Technical Communication Quarterly, Communication Design Quarterly, IEEE Transactions on Professional Communication, and the Journal of Technical Writing and Communication. Bridging scholarly inquiry with applied practice, I investigate how language, media, and design interact to persuade public audiences and motivate action during elections, emergencies, and everyday encounters. With a foundation in civic advocacy, I am committed to equipping students, educators, and leaders with communication skills that emphasize ethical engagement, clarity of purpose, and rhetorical awareness.
