Research
I believe in the power of research to impact lives and change the world. As an applied scholar, my primary research goal is to produce new knowledge that can extend our theoretical understanding and inform our practices concerning human communication. My research focuses on the intersection of organizational, interpersonal, and intercultural communication using both quantitative and qualitative methodologies. My topic areas include conflict negotiation, identity management, training and development, and humor. I am proficient in survey design, experimental design, personal interviews, focus group interviews, and statistical analyses including Structural Equation Modeling.
