Assistant professor. Health comm, IPC, and media effects scholar currently researching the role of media in sexual assault/mental health disclosure. Oh, and I teach PR.

Expect posts about college sports, dogs, and academic life!
These two experiences truly shaped how I viewed violence against women. I went to my PhD program with an ax to grind and wanted to know how media plays a role in disclosure.

I also tell them about how great it used to be for following sports. Now you can’t follow a game without getting exposed to some kind of nonsense over there.

Let’s hope the college athletics folks and professional sports folks will find their way here, too!

In my PR classes, I tell my students about how Twitter used to be this amazing tool for media relations. I truly hope we can foster that community of journalists, PR professionals, and academics.

I should be at #ICA2025 and #AEJ2025 though.
