She has taught writing at both TCU and Texas State, as well as at Hacettepe University in Ankara, Turkey, where she spent a year as a Fulbright Fellow. She was named the top new scholar in the field of Burkean rhetorical studies at the Kenneth Burke Society's triennial conference in 2008. She is currently studying communal identity formation in museums around the world.
