  I'm an Assistant Professor of Communication at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University and teach upper-level courses in the Communication Program, such as Visual Design, Environmental Communication, and Web Publishing. I hold a PhD (Texts & Technology) and M.A. (Creative Writing), in English from the University of Central Florida. I just completed and defended my dissertation outlining a methodology for reframing problems by analyzing the artifacts produced by medical imaging technologies. The text is a rhetorical study that uses methodologies adapted from surrealist, literary, and theatre theories, with a focus on fragmentation of texts. In it, I also address how digital medical technologies affect the way patients and physicians interact and the broader effect of this technology on how we view illness and the human body. In the past, I've worked in the legal field and for a financial services technology consulting firm in public relations and marketing. I've researched and reported on technology for trade publications, developed marketing literature, and worked with consultants on document design, technical manuals, and reports. As a freelance writer, I've published around 130 articles, covering issues such as digital technology, medicine including radiology and oncology, financial services technology, Web development, auditing, commercial real estate, banking, travel, and legal issues. I've developed and maintain several Web sites and wrote a screenplay, Revelations in Plastic, that currently needs a producer. Less
