PhD student in English · Rhetoric and Writing Studies · Wayne State University
start with the human questionWriting does more than communicate ideas. It teaches people what kinds of writers, students, and scholars they are allowed to become.
I study how generative AI, academic writing expectations, digital technologies, and institutional practices shape authorship, rhetorical judgment, linguistic identity, and belonging in higher education.
