I am a digital rhetorician, science communicator, podcaster, and global teacher. That's a peculiar entanglement, I know. But how else can I describe my scholarship, which stretches from ancient Greece to digital media? Or my teaching in New Zealand, Slovenia, the USA, and cyberspace? I have been a Fulbright Fellow, Marsden grant recipient, online instructional designer, technical writer, podcaster, and even a Shakespearean actor. Currently, I'm Executive Producer of a podcast about podcasting called Pod Uni.

Massey University, new zealand I am a Senior Lecturer at Massey University in Aotearoa New Zealand. From my "home base" in the School of Humanities, Media and Creative Communication on the Manawat ū campus, I collaborate with faculty across a variety of disciplines to teach communication, writing, rhetoric, and podcasting to students across a wide range of fields. It's a transdisciplinary position that suits the heterogeneity of my skill sets and interests.

Rhetoric of Podcasting

As part of a new undergraduate research program called ASURE, I designed and taught a new podcasting course in Fall 2018. The video below offers a depiction of this interactive--and fun--course.
