I grew up in California and then earned my Bachelor’s in the Rocky Mountain West with a major in advertising communication and a minor in graphic design. I then worked in the advertising and graphic design industry for about 10 years before going back to college for grad school. I earned my Ph.D. in Media and Communication from Texas Tech and focus my research on media use and well-being. You can find a portion of my published research here. 

I’ve been working at Landmark College since 2023, and as an individual with ADHD and sensory sensitivities, I am delighted to be at a college that believes in the learning capabilities of any different kinds of minds.
