About

 I work as an Assistant Professor at the University of Oklahoma Gaylord College of Journalism and Mass Communication.  My research focuses on two areas:


Crisis and disaster communications:  I am studying post-disaster public relations campaigns in New Orleans and post– tsunami Asia.


The role of social media and other new technologies in public relations: I  am studying how, through the ages, the field of public relations has adapted to new technologies.
