My background
I joined UCAR Communications in January 1997 after 16 years as an editor and administrative support person in the Institute of Behavioral Science, an interdisciplinary center for social science research within the University of Colorado-Boulder. My bachelor's degree from CU-Boulder is in interpersonal and organizational communication with emphases in rhetoric, cross-cultural communication, and conflict resolution. Past volunteer efforts have included radio production for Boulder's community radio station, KGNU-FM, and publicity and public information for several nonprofit labor and social justice organizations. |
