About Me

I earned my BA in Political Science and my MA in Speech Communication (now Communication Studies) from Ball State University in Muncie, Indiana. Among my interests are political communication, argumentation, education policy, and performance auditing.

I enjoy spending time with my children as a Cub Scout leader and an American Heritage Girls leader. I am also the director of a local Cub Scout day camp.
