Professional

In addition to my teaching and scholarship, I have also had the opportunity to engage writing and digital media as a practitioner and administrator. I have served as a writer and editor for a variety of publications and organizations. In this area, I have experience working for a variety of publications and purposes, including text-based articles, press releases, and reports, and multimedia compositions, including podcasts, photo illustrations, and websites.

Additionally, I have served as an academic administrator in a variety of contexts, including university-wide and department specific programs. In each of these opportunities, I engage administration as an opportunity, first, to engage with student writers, emerging writing professionals, and diverse communities; and, second, to promote interdisciplinary dialogues about writing, its processes, and its pedagogies. While serving as the Assistant Director of the Florida State University Reading-Writing Center (RWC) and Digital Studio (DS), I supported the work of graduate and undergraduate consultants in a traditional writing center, an online writing center, a graduate writing center, and a multiliteracy tutoring center, an experience that afforded me the opportunity to develop my own administrative praxis that reflects my commitment to serving diverse populations of writers, supporting writing center staff, and, ultimately, sustaining the goals of the university. I have further developed that praxis as the writing coordinator at SU, where I have collaborated with stakeholders across campus to support teaching-for-transfer and anti-oppressive pedagogies.
