Hi! Thanks so much for visiting my faculty page.

As a scholar and full professor in communication strategy and design, I collaborate with colleagues and students to present and publish research related to crisis/risk communication, sports, public relations, and social media/technology.  

Current Research: Co-authoring a book titled Case Studies on Pandemics and Epidemics:
Communication Campaigns from the 1918 Influenza to COVID-19, to be launched in 2025 by Routledge. 

Courses Taught: Crisis communication, Organizational culture and conflict, Introduction to strategic communication, and an Ithaca Seminar: Food Identity and Culture. 

On a personal note, I am known as the resident foodie. There are always snacks available and food prepared for my students. Aside from enjoying food, I also enjoy travelling and am an advocate for studying abroad; Countries visited: Austria, Canada, Caribbean Islands (Bahamas, Dominican Republic, Haiti, Jamaica, Ochos Rio & Puerto Rico), England, France, Germany, Ireland, Japan, & Scotland
