I am an Assistant Professor of English at UL-Lafayette, interested in multimodal composition and public scholarship. I am a competent web designer who has designed sites using relational databases, CSS, HTML5, JavaScript, PHP, and VBScript. I am currently working on a multimedia "born-digital" book for a scholarly press. The book, Visual Research and Composition in the Socio-digital Landscape, explores the affordances of HTML5 for digital collaboration and publication.
