Hello and welcome! I am research faculty in Virginia Tech’s Fralin Life Sciences Institute. As a communication researcher, I am invested in the potential for discourse to create equitable workplaces and to generate just socio-ecological futures in the face of global environmental crisis. I use qualitative methods to investigate how patterns of power and resistance emerge through decision-making processes and professional identity formation. Situated in the contexts of energy industries and the culture of Arctic science, I examine how power organizes individuals in diverse workspaces—whether in the office, the lab, the field site or the drill site—and how work shapes human-nature relations.
