Teaching

My teaching focuses on organizational communication, leadership, negotiation, and research methods. 

My upcoming schedule for the year is seen on the right.

Below, you can find short descriptions of my courses as well as attached syllabi. 

I strongly believe that teaching is best done in community with others. If you have questions about my teaching, want access to resources, or want to discuss anything related to teaching, please do not hesitate to reach out.

Introduction to Organizational Communication 

This course introduces students to the theory of organizational communication. The primary focus is on helping students understand the nature and functions of organizations, the tensions between organizational leaders and employees, the purpose of management, and, most importantly, the ways that communication structures and shapes organizations and our experiences of them.
