I have taught in the Communication Studies department at Oswego since 2014. Prior to graduate study, I worked professionally in the radio industry for over a decade, holding a variety of positions, including on-air personality and program director/music director, for both music and talk-formatted stations.

Research 

My research interests include the presentation and promotion of identity through radio and audio media, the use of gender in radio formatting, and issues surrounding localism and conglomeration in broadcast media.
