Hi! Thanks so much for visiting my faculty page.

As a scholar and full professor in communication strategy and design, I collaborate with colleagues and students to present and publish research related to crisis/risk communication, sports, public relations, and social media/technology. 

Arhlene Flowers and I are please to announce that our book Case Studies on Pandemic and Epidemic Communication Campaigns: From the 1918 Influenza to COVID-19 is officially published by Routledge, and features two student contributions.  The book was dedicated to our families, but also the International Crisis and Risk Communication Association. This 503c is a central international resource for excellence in research and practice in crisis and risk communication.

Courses Taught: Crisis communication, Organizational culture and conflict, Introduction to strategic communication, and an Ithaca Seminar: Food Identity and Culture, among others. 

On a personal note, my second passion after teaching is all things related to food and the culinary world. Check out a few of my favorite sites and resources:
