At first, it was just a job, something to do in the year between finishing my Master\u2019s and starting a PhD. The more I learned about repair, though, the more convinced I became that our <a href=https://www.ifixit.com/"https:////www.ifixit.com//News//53471//by-fixing-stuff-youre-fixing-the-planet-happy-international-repair-day/">collective future depends on it<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<p>Even after I left to work on my PhD in rhetoric and composition, I continued to write on a contract basis for iFixit, developing <a href=https://www.ifixit.com/"https:////www.ifixit.com//Right-to-Repair/">the articles<\/a> that lay out the perennial case for repair and occasionally editorializing with <a href=https://www.ifixit.com/"https:////www.ifixit.com//User//2//Kyle+Wiens/">Kyle (e.g., <a href=https://www.ifixit.com/"https:////www.wired.com//story//john-deere-farmers-right-to-repair///">this piece for Wired<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n<p>When I finished my PhD in 2016, I joined the Department of English, Philosophy, and World Languages at Arkansas State University as an Assistant Professor. There, I taught courses including technical writing, digital writing, and composition theory. In my technical writing courses, fabulous groups of <a href=https://www.ifixit.com/"https:////edu.ifixit.com///">students produced iFixit guides<\/a>\u2014such as this set of <a href=https://www.ifixit.com/"//Topic//Ninja_Mega_Kitchen_System_BL770/" target=\"_blank\">Ninja blender guides<\/a>, this set for the <a href=https://www.ifixit.com/"//Topic//PS_Vita_Slim/" target=\"_blank\">PS Vita Slim<\/a>, and this <a href=https://www.ifixit.com/"//Guide//How+to+Fix+a+Broken+Zipper//93385/" target=\"_blank\">\u201chow to fix a broken zipper\u201d<\/a> guide (that I\u2019ve used in repairing my own clothing!).<\/p>\n\n<p>I helped start the Arkansas State <a href=https://www.ifixit.com/"https:////astatedh.com///" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Certificate in Digital Humanities<\/a> and launched an editorially reviewed student publication called <a href=https://www.ifixit.com/"https:////astatedh.com//notes///" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Notes from the Search Bar<\/a>, which features newsy summaries of digital humanities research, projects, and tools.<\/p>\n\n<p>From 2019-2021, I was Director of First-Year Writing at Arkansas State, which meant that I developed curriculum and trained new instructors of composition. I also co-edited the third and fourth editions of the A-State collection of student writing, <a href=https://www.ifixit.com/"https:////www.amazon.com//Pack-Prints-ENG-1003-Composition//dp//1680368796?tag=ifixitam-20\%22 rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Pack Prints<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<p>In <a href=https://www.ifixit.com/"https:////scholar.google.com//citations?user=FfaBqYcAAAAJ&hl=en\%22 rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">my academic research<\/a>, I examined web writing and culture using a blend of data analysis and rhetorical analysis. Though the subjects of my study varied widely\u2014DIY fashion blogs, Jenny McCarthy\u2019s anti-vaccine rallies, the controversy surrounding Blizzard\u2019s ban of the Hearthstone player Blitzchung\u2014I favored mixed-methods examinations of the intersection of digital media and culture.<\/p>\n\n<p>I have publications extant or forthcoming in <em>The Edinburgh Companion to the Essay<\/em>, <em>Computers and Composition<\/em>, <em>Studies in the Humanities<\/em>, and <em>Trace: A Journal of Writing, Media, and Ecology<\/em>. I also wrote occasionally for academic blogs (e.g., <a href=https://www.ifixit.com/"https:////mediacommons.org//imr//content//complicit-performance-police-profiling-board-game///" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">In Media Res<\/a>, <a href=https://www.ifixit.com/"https:////jitp.commons.gc.cuny.edu//draftback-to-the-future-a-tool-for-writing-process-analysis///" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">The Journal of Interactive Technology and Pedagogy<\/a>, and <a href=https://www.ifixit.com/"https:////medium.com//the-humanities-in-transition//being-speaks-always-and-everywhere-throughout-language-a96f91f7a0a9/" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">The Humanities in Transition<\/a>). I continue to serve as a <a href=https://www.ifixit.com/"https:////kairos.technorhetoric.net//staff.html/" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">section editor<\/a> for the peer-reviewed online academic journal <em>Kairos: A Journal of Rhetoric, Technology, and Pedagogy<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n<p>The pandemic forced for me, as it did for so many people, a reconsideration of my role in the world: I became more and more aware of my global citizenship and the importance of individual action. My academic work had increasingly focused on ecorhetorics and issues of sustainability. But with every <a href=https://www.ifixit.com/"https:////www.un.org//en//climatechange//reports/" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report<\/a> that was released, I felt more frustrated by the hand-wringingness of academia, the focus on problematizing instead of taking action toward social solutions.<\/p>\n\n<p>When I was invited back to a full-time role with iFixit, with a focus on mitigating climate change through corporate and political action, I was thrilled by the opportunity. These days, I am taking action to improve our collective impact on the planet by advocating for <a href=https://www.ifixit.com/"https:////www.repair.org//stand-up/">right-to-repair legislation<\/a>, repair-friendly design, and environmental standards that require repairability and modularity.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"clearer\"><\/div><div class=\"headerContainer\"><a class=\"selfLink\" href=https://www.ifixit.com/"#Section__Education\" title=\"Link to this section\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><i class=\"svg-icon\" style=\"width: 16px; height: 16px;\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" viewBox=\"0 0 16 16\" fill=\"currentColor\"><path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" clip-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M13.1 2.899a3.976 3.976 0 0 0-5.622 0l-.94.94A.85.85 0 0 0 7.742 5.04l.94-.939a2.276 2.276 0 1 1 3.218 3.219l-.94.94a.85.85 0 1 0 1.203 1.201l.939-.94a3.976 3.976 0 0 0 0-5.622zM2.9 13.101a3.976 3.976 0 0 0 5.622 0l.94-.94a.85.85 0 0 0-1.203-1.201l-.94.939A2.276 2.276 0 1 1 4.102 8.68l.94-.94A.85.85 0 0 0 3.839 6.54l-.94.94a3.976 3.976 0 0 0 0 5.622z\"><\/path><path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" clip-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M10.119 5.881a.875.875 0 0 1 0 1.238l-3 3A.875.875 0 0 1 5.88 8.88l3-3a.875.875 0 0 1 1.238 0z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/i><\/a><h2 id=\"Section__Education\" class=\"header\"><strong>Education<\/strong><\/h2><\/div>\n\n<p><em>BA, English, 2007, California State University, Los Angeles<\/em><\/p>\n\n<p><em>MA, English, 2010, California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo<\/em><\/p>\n\n<p><em>PhD, English Rhetoric and Composition, 2016, University of Louisville, Kentucky<\/em><\/p>\n\n<div class=\"clearer\"><\/div><div class=\"headerContainer\"><a class=\"selfLink\" href=https://www.ifixit.com/"#Section__Experience\" title=\"Link to this section\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><i class=\"svg-icon\" style=\"width: 16px; height: 16px;\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" viewBox=\"0 0 16 16\" fill=\"currentColor\"><path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" clip-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M13.1 2.899a3.976 3.976 0 0 0-5.622 0l-.94.94A.85.85 0 0 0 7.742 5.04l.94-.939a2.276 2.276 0 1 1 3.218 3.219l-.94.94a.85.85 0 1 0 1.203 1.201l.939-.94a3.976 3.976 0 0 0 0-5.622zM2.9 13.101a3.976 3.976 0 0 0 5.622 0l.94-.94a.85.85 0 0 0-1.203-1.201l-.94.939A2.276 2.276 0 1 1 4.102 8.68l.94-.94A.85.85 0 0 0 3.839 6.54l-.94.94a3.976 3.976 0 0 0 0 5.622z\"><\/path><path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" clip-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M10.119 5.881a.875.875 0 0 1 0 1.238l-3 3A.875.875 0 0 1 5.88 8.88l3-3a.875.875 0 0 1 1.238 0z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/i><\/a><h2 id=\"Section__Experience\" class=\"header\"><strong>Experience<\/strong><\/h2><\/div>\n\n<p>Though I just rejoined iFixit full-time in 2022, I\u2019ve been writing for iFixit for over 10 years.<\/p>\n\n<p>Sustainability is a little out of my academic wheelhouse, but it\u2019s been an interest of mine for as long as I can remember.<\/p>\n\n<p>In college, I was co-founder of a fluorescent light bulb recycling student organization, the Light Up the World with a Dim Light Bulb Foundation (which I wrote about in <a href=https://www.ifixit.com/"https:////www.ifixit.com//News//968//uk-company-revend-revamps-fluorescent-light-bulb-recycling/">this ancient iFixit blog post<\/a>).

Through my personal choices, I aim to support a more-sustainable world\u2014composting, gardening, using solar panels, buying less and preferring used. Sustainability is always about tradeoffs, and I know there are many ways I can work to be better.
