My work concerns the persuasive elements of communications that audiences often perceive as arhetorical. As an instructor of writing, I encourage students to examine workplace genre conventions through a rhetorical lens. I received the Outstanding Graduate Instructor Award while serving as the Visiting Assistant Professor of Technical and Professional Writing and Associated Faculty Member for Women’s and Gender Studies at the University of New Orleans. At the University of Texas at Austin, I received the John Slatin Prize for Mastery of Electronic Media in Education (MEME). Previous academic and administrative appointmentsUniversity of New OrleansVisiting Assistant Professor of Technical and Professional Writing | Department of EnglishAssociated Faculty Member | Center for Women’s and Gender StudiesProfessional and Technical Writing Certificate Programs Coordinator | Department of EnglishUniversity of Texas at AustinInstructor of Record | Department of Rhetoric and WritingInstructor of Record | Department of EnglishTeaching Fellow | Bernard and Audre Rapoport Center for Human Rights & JusticeDigital Content and Presentations Coordinator | University Writing CenterResearch Associate | Digital Writing and Research LabEducationPh.D., English, Rhetoric and Composition concentration, 2019 | University of Texas at Austin M.A., Women’s and Gender Studies, 2013 | University of Texas at AustinM.P.A., Lyndon Baines Johnson School of Public Affairs, 2013 | University of Texas at AustinB.A., Gender and Women’s Studies, 2008 | University of KentuckySelected publications“The Problem with Police-Recorded Video.” in Rhetoric Society Quarterly, April 2023, https://www.semanticscholar.org/paper/The-Problem-with-Police-Recorded-Video-Goad/484e0bb140218189dd0cb65ea97f9ce971300ce8. “Daddy Trump.” in Platforms, Protests, and the Challenge of Networked Democracy.
