I am an associate professor of English at Kennesaw State University in the metro Atlanta area, where I teach—both online and in the classroom—a variety of rhetoric/composition and professional writing courses, including Writing in Digital Environments, Technical Writing, Advanced Composition, Writing as a Process (MAPW), Teaching Writing in High Schools and Colleges (MAPW), and Digital Technology in the Writing Classroom (MAPW). In January 2011, I began serving as Assistant Director of Distance Education for the College of Humanities and Social Sciences, and I am now the Associate Director of the CHSS Office of Distance Education.

My scholarship and service activities focus on online learning, digital writing and culture, technology and literacy, and faculty development.

My latest publication is an edited collection: Collaborative Approaches to the Digital in English Studies (Computers and Composition Digital Press, 2011).

Collaborative Approaches to the Digital in English Studies presents diverse examples of how researchers and teachers in English studies are working together and with other disciplines and stakeholders to examine digital tools, texts, and user practices, locally and globally, within and beyond the academy. These examples reveal practitioners using collaborative approaches to pool expertise and resources, challenge boundaries, develop nuanced perspectives, experiment and discover, and shape the future of the profession, accomplishing through these interactions what could not be achieved as productively alone.
