Research

Me at Gonzaga (c) James Rosko
I graduated with a MA in Communication and Leadership Studies from Gonzaga University and a BA in English and Communication with emphases in Mass Media Studies and Creative Writing from the University of Washington.  I studied Theology/Bible and Journalism for one year at Multnomah University.  That year proved to grow my character and service.

In my work and research, I consider what it means to live by vocation (1 Tim. 4:14-16) and to communicate and lead by writing, photography, the digital arts, and scholarship as pathways to encourage people to heal and to grow amid loss.


Me (3rd FR-L) with Gonzaga Colleagues (c) Kelli Kapp
I want to collaborate with academic organizations to design innovative advanced degree programs for today's students, to partner with computer mediated communication (CMC) organizations to design healthcare communication systems that yield more ethical spaces, to write/publish books, to teach writing, ethics, performance narrative, communication theory, to mentor graduate and international students, and to consult civic leaders on communicating faith across cultures.
