My PhD is in English Rhetoric and Composition. I am seeking a teaching position in technical / professional writing. I have experience teaching upper level writing courses, curriculum development, and writing program administration. I am currently a full-time Instructor at Northern Illinois University in the Department of English. My research interests include the history of social media, and ways amateur experts produce documents and share information.
Teaching Materials: Includes syllabi, assignments, descriptions of courses taught.
Evidence of Teaching Effectiveness: Includes student feedback and peer observations.
Please note: the essay Your Loving Daughter: Multimodal memorial writing, mourning, and working during the pandemic, which was originally hosted
