She earned her M.A. and Ph.D. in rhetoric and American public address at the University of Wisconsin and, before coming to Iowa as the director of the public speaking program in 1996, spent several years teaching at the University of Alabama, Birmingham. From 2006-2013 she led the Speech Communication Program in the Department of English.
