WELCOME
I'm a Ph.D. candidate in Rhetoric and Composition at Purdue University. My research deals with film and video production, film, gender, and race. I engage with these topics through new media, pop culture and public rhetorics lenses. For information about my publications and the courses I've taught, please visit my CV.
I also work as a documentary filmmaker. You can learn about my film work here. My first project PERFECT: A Conversation with the Venezuelan Middle Class about Female Beauty and Breast Implants is used for teaching gender and writing courses around the country.
I also worked on The Writing and Working for Change Video Project, a series of short documentaries about the NCTE caucuses and the contributions they have made to Rhetoric and Composition throughout their history. I am presently editing Lift the Lamp, my first feature documentary, which tells the story of four immigrant women living in New York City.
As a new media scholar, I work with online journals and communities, click on online projects to read about them.
