Research Interests<\/strong><\/p>\n

My primary area of research is rhetoric and communication. My dissertation examined how organizations, specifically the American megachurch, applied communication to influence culture and identity. \u00a0This research contributed to the current literature in organizational communication and applied communication studies. Moreover, this research suggested a model of organizational culture within the American megachurch and illuminated areas of further research within the intersection of applied communication and organizational culture and identity research.<\/p>\n
