Academic Positions
Graduate Research Assistant
The National Science Foundation
Su 2014-Present
• I designed an activist digital media communications project to tell the stories of the victims of
the West Virginia Water Crisis at www.wvwatercrisis.com through video, image, and text. I
also filmed and published an emergency public health and safety video with environmental
engineers who were testing water in contaminated plumbing systems in victims’ homes. It was
linked in a New York Times article and led to interviews with other national news media. I am
currently creating an interactive documentary and academic research project on the social and
rhetorical aspects of the water crisis. Released documentary footage to LiveScience.com for
their story on the water crisis.
Graduate Research Assistant
The Appalachian Project
2012-2014
• I conducted field research and videography for this interdisciplinary initiative, which produced
a 40-minute video ethnography that profiles high school and college students in Appalachian
Ohio to understand factors influencing Appalachian Ohio students’ choices to attend college.
Graduate Administrative Assistant
Digital Media Project (DMP)
2012-2013
• I was responsible for significant administrative duties, including assisting in planning and
delivering technology and software workshops; instructing teachers and students in the use of
digital media production hardware such as camcorders, audio recorders, projectors, etc;
troubleshooting issues in DMP-managed classrooms; checking out equipment to students and
instructors; maintaining the DMP website; and undertaking special projects initiated by the
DMP (e.g. workshops, outreach, special programming, etc).
2
Associate Director
Digital Media and Composition (DMAC) Institute

• I served as the chief organizer for all DMAC operations from Fall to Summer quarter, including
activities of assistants, correspondence with participants, budgetary expenses, weekly meetings
with Institute Directors Cindy Selfe and Scott DeWitt through Winter and Spring quarters,
logistics for the two-week long daily workshop in the summer, and processing reimbursements
of expenses for Directors.
Research Assistant
LiteracyStudies@OSU
Winter 2012-Fall 2012
• I served as the organizer of daily logistics for the Interdisciplinary Graduate Seminars,
including promoting the monthly events, recruiting student and faculty for participation in the
program, developing and planning monthly seminars, workshops, and lectures series. I also
assisted Dr. Harvey Graff in conducting research for his new book, preparing materials for his
courses, and redesigning his professional website.
Research Assistant
Digital Archives of Literacy Narratives (DALN)
• I collected literacy narratives for the DALN at Columbus Bicentennial events. I was
responsible for promoting the DALN, soliciting and conducting interviews, editing the
recordings, and captioning the videos.
2012
Teaching
English 2269: Digital Media Composing
The Ohio State University
2013-2014
• I designed and taught this course in digital media composition to focus on the rhetorical choices
involved in image, audio, video, and web production. Students used digital still cameras, video
recorders, and audio recorders in production and Photoshop, Audacity, iMovie, and
Dreamweaver in post-production. Students were also required to participate in the course
readings and in-class activities using social media, including Wordpress blogs and Twitter.
Readings focused on the ethics of digital media production and digital media theory.
English 110.01: First Year English Composition
The Ohio State University
2012
• For this course in analytic academic writing and persuasive public writing, I themed the course
around several key concepts: “literacy and identity in American lives,” “representing the body,”
“stigma,” and “representing place.”
English 102: English Composition II
Marshall University
2009
• I designed this course in persuasive academic writing and research to focus on literacy, asking
students to think and write about their own literacy practices and values as well as research and
analyze a specific issue in literacy studies. I incorporated digital technology by assigning a
multimodal composition, research blog, and web-based final portfolio.
3
English 350: Literary Studies for Majors
Marshall University
2009-2010
• This course was a first-level English major seminar that I co-taught with a professor one
semester and then taught independently the next semester. The course prepares students for the
Senior Capstone course and portfolio by teaching literary criticism and theory through the
study of a range of cross-cultural literature in a variety of genres. Students were required to
write and revise three formal papers, interpret and perform pieces from literary works, present
in a research-based colloquium, and create a progress portfolio.
Tutoring
Young Scholars Program
The Ohio State University
2013
Office of Diversity and Inclusion
• I tutored minority and at-risk students who were transitioning from high school to college
during a two-week daily course preparing them for the First Year Writing Program. I assisted
students with in-class writing, brainstorming, and rhetorical analysis. Some of the students also
turned to me for outside mentorship after the course was over, including reviewing their
resumes.
Writing Center
Marshall University

• I tutored both undergraduate and graduate students from all majors and disciplines at various
stages of the writing process in both face-to-face sessions and online (synchronous and
asynchronous) sessions.
Higher Education for Learning Problems
Marshall University
