WHY MARQUETTE?

The students at Marquette are intelligent, self-motivated and socially conscious; they are passionate and they care. I teach for the moments of recognition when students can take complex concepts and apply them to create professional, creative and meaningful work. These moments make the frustrations and stress that come with writing, producing, directing and editing live studio and client productions worth it. I wouldn’t have it any other way.

RESEARCH INTERESTS

Research interests include new media, race and gender studies in film and mass media, screenwriting, film and television aesthetics and analysis, broadcasting education theory and techniques
