​About Me

I am a doctoral student in the Department of Communication at the University of Memphis. I hold an MA in Speech Communication from North Dakota State University. Though my undergraduate degree is in Architectural Engineering, I found myself serendipitously in the communication field and have never looked back.
 
My current research interests revolve around climate change communication, as well as the political and media rhetoric surrounding immigrants and refugees in the United States. My published work has appeared in several well-regarded journals, such as Environmental Communication, Presidential Studies Quarterly, Critical Studies in Media Communication, the Journal of Higher Education Policy and Management, among others.

​I have taught undergraduate courses at the university level, including Intercultural Communication, Oral Communication and Communication Research Methods. I currently live in Memphis, Tennessee with my family, though I also call the United Kingdom, Syria, and the United Arab Emirates home.
