About
I received my Bachelor of Arts degree in communication from Messiah College in June, 1991 and my Master of Arts in communication from Wheaton College in August, 1994. I began my doctoral studies in August 2009, defended my dissertation in May 2012, and graduated from Texas A&M University with my Ph.D. in August 2012 in Organizational communication. My research interests span the areas of qualitative, organizational, institutional, and sociological approaches to communicative phenomena. Of specific interest to me are how people use various communicative and discursive resources to approach leadership training and manage inter-ethnic conflicts.
I have conducted research and written about qualitative and quantitative methodologies, content analysis in media, performance evaluation in organizations, client feedback surveys for the World Bank, HIV/AIDS prevention and control baseline surveys, and youth status surveys in an Africa city. Some of my research has been published by Daystar
University, Nairobi, Kenya. In addition to my scholarly writing and research, I have continued my teaching career upon my return to Daystar University in November 2012 and I am training with NGOs in Kenya in leadership training, inter-ethnic conflict management and the youth as a way to blend my theoretical and practical interests. Currently, I am the University Registrar, Daystar University.
