About

Hello! I am an Assistant Professor in the School of Communication at Point Park University.

I hold a Ph.D. from the Grady College of Journalism & Mass Communication of the University of Georgia as well as an M.S. in Journalism from West Virginia University.

I teach journalism, digital media, multimedia, broadcast production, and research method courses. My research focuses on issues relating to social networks, semantic networks, network agenda setting, social media, social movement, and international communication.

Prior to attending graduate school, I worked as a journalist for nearly 10 years. I worked for several print and broadcast media including international broadcaster Al Jazeera English.

Outside of work, I love to spend time with my family and friends.
