As a Researcher...

From privacy management between foreign English teachers and their Japanese co-workers in Japan to celebrity health narratives.  I explore public-private negotiations for social change. 

My research is published within international and U.S. national academic journals, books, and textbooks such as the Journal of International & Intercultural Communication, Intercultural Communication Studies, Language & Intercultural Communication, Health Communication, Public Voices, and Communication Teacher. 

See my CV for more details.
