I am an Assistant Professor of English and Director of First-Year Composition at the University of Idaho. Broadly construed, my research interrogates how the internet (mis)shapes public discourse in the United States. This work is grounded in rhetoric, my primary field, but draws from a wide range of scholarship in the humanities and social sciences. I am currently working on two publications about the rhetoric of generative AI. I’ve also written about how link rot fuels conspiracy theories and writing program reform during the Covid-19 pandemic. My work appears or is forthcoming in Rhetoric & Public Affairs, M/C Journal, and several edited collections.

Perhaps more importantly, I am also a first-generation college student & neurodivergent person who is committed to higher education as a public good for all.
