My work is investigating voice-training methodologies through the lens of linguistics.  My research focuses on how voice trainers conceptualize theoretical aspects of voice and speech, which influence the way they practice and teach the subject in the classroom and how coaching practices happen in the industry. 

I study the role of arts organizations in contemporary public and civic life. I am especially interested in how that role is changing, how the arts interact with local communities, and the strategies these organizations use to navigate challenging and shifting expectations.

My work is in historic costume, apparel design, and digital textile design.

My work focuses on the development of scalable and rapid nanomanufacturing approaches for advanced and quantum materials with novel electrical, magnetic, and mechanical properties.

My research is in power systems, distributed energy resources, cybersecurity for power systems, agentic artificial intelligence, and traditional machine learning & deep learning. 

I will be teaching in the Counselor Education program. My work centers on preparing the next generation of counselors with the knowledge, skills, and ethical grounding necessary for competent and compassionate practice.

I study writing, language, and literacy instruction and development, with a focus on students with disabilities, multi-lingual students, and multidisciplinary collaboration in schools.

With over 25 years in education, including 15 years in educational leadership, my teaching and research interests center on advancing sustainable practices in school leadership, with a particular focus on teacher retention and professional development. I am committed to preparing future educational leaders to address the systemic factors influencing teacher efficacy, satisfaction, and longevity.
 

My research explores the role of religious traditions in debates over ethics, politics, and culture. Since secular democracies are marked by a religious heritage, I think the study of religion clarifies the context of contemporary debates, and it offers resources anyone can draw on to address them.

My interests are in Tibetan history and literature; Buddhism; religion, kingship, and state.
