Goals and interests
- Career goal
During my doctoral studies, I intend to establish my own research agenda in cultivating successful college writing programs. After my graduation, I plan on seeking a postdoctoral fellowship and/or become a member of a research group. While working in academic research, I will seek a visiting professorship or senior lecturer position. After my research is firmly established, I will pursue a tenure-track position.
- Graduate school interests
Maintaining strong links with the community in the areas of issues relating to families and women, student development, and collegiate writing.
