I work in Canadian higher education, primarily with graduate students and researchers, on argument, structure, and research communication. Much of my work focuses on writing process: how ideas are developed, organized, and sustained across high-stakes projects such as grant applications, theses, dissertations, journal articles, and other forms of scholarly writing.

I hold a PhD in Sociology, earned through some combination of curiosity, persistence, and torment. My research focuses on nonreligion and secular identity: how people build meaning, community, and values outside organized religion. Links below.
