Hi, y'all! 👋🏻 I'm a college professor who teaches communication. I hold a Ph.D. in Media & Public Affairs from Louisiana State University (LSU). I'm passionate about storytelling, media studies, and propaganda, as well as writing and R&B. 🎶

My dissertation was funded by the John Maxwell Hamilton Fellowship for Media and Public Affairs Research. In the past, I have held a Pre-Doctoral Fellowship at the Samuel DuBois Cook Center on Social Equity at Duke University and a COMPASS Fellowship in Media Policy at Annenberg School of Communication at the University of Pennsylvania in Washington, D.C. 

I also have a master's degree from the University of Minnesota, as well as an unremitting love for gumbo and red beans and rice. ✨
