Service

I am actively engaged in service locally and nationally. 

At Virginia Tech I serve as the Associate Director of the Rhetoric and Writing PhD program. I have also served as a research associate and strategic planning coordinator for the Center for Rhetoric in Society.

At Carnegie Mellon University I served in multiple roles with the university’s Graduate Student Assembly (GSA). In my role as President, I led the first campus-wide GSA Strategic Plan and spoke publicly about the value of graduate education, as I did at the Integrated Intelligence Fundraising event in San Francisco, California in 2015. 

At a national level, I have been involved in Higher Education Policy and Advocacy through my work with the National Association of Graduate & Professional Students (NAGPS). I also currently serve as an at-large member of the steering committee for the American Society for the History of Rhetoric (ASHR).
