About Myself

I like to think that my life is centered around creative pursuits. When I'm not designing a website or working on a painting, I'm working on a Masters degree at Purdue University, where my concentration is Health Communication & Technology (completed minor in Persuasion). At Purdue, I am a research assistant in a variety of areas, and I also teach undergraduate classes. I enjoy being in an academic field-- I love to read and learn and absorb all types of knowledge. My interests extend into health communication and technology, e-learning technologies & usage of, social support (theory & practice), rhetoric, and postcolonial/subaltern studies.
