About Me

I am a PhD candidate in Rhetoric & Writing at Michigan State University in the Department of Writing, Rhetoric, and American Cultures.  My concentration is in Cultural Rhetorics, with a focus in American Indian Rhetorics. As an enrolled citizen of the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma, my primary research focuses on everyday rhetorical practices within my tribal community.  I am currently working on a project that examines Native foodways as rhetorical strategies of survivance and continuance.
