Current research interests: My current research interests are in crisis, risk, and disaster communication. I am interested in understanding how organizations prepare for and respond to crises, specifically disasters, and how they communicate with the public following a crisis event. Having previously worked in public relations in the healthcare industry, and handling crises from an industry perspective, it is interesting to apply a theoretical lens to practical crisis occurrences.
