Service
SERVICE INTERESTS:
I am interested in approaching my service as a way to practice my commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion within and beyond the discipline of communication, the department, and the university. Ultimately, I intend to perform my research and teaching interests in critical cultural communication through service.
