Collaborate

Concrete ways I can contribute

I am open to conversations about projects where qualitative inquiry, rhetorical judgment, teaching, or technical-to-public communication can solve a defined problem for a defined audience.

Knowledge translation

Translating specialized information for public and non-specialist audiences without simplifying away the substance.

Interviews and qualitative research

Facilitating conversations with subject-matter experts, staff, educators, and community partners to identify language, values, needs, and points of friction.

Organizational communication review

Reviewing public-facing communication for audience fit, clarity, rhetorical consistency, accessibility, and responsible claims.

Responsible AI and writing practice

Helping educators and organizations distinguish useful assistance from unaccountable delegation and build role-specific practices.

Workshops and facilitated conversations

Designing structured sessions for educators, students, departments, or community organizations around writing, AI, authorship, and rhetorical judgment.
