Professional Summary
My name is Jo Withrow, and I am delighted to be pursuing a Masters in Communication. I have interests in the rhetorical analysis of social media trends, the socialization and learning patterns of students who entered their university years completely online and later moved to an in-person model, and recently, the implications of GenAI chatbots on the pedagogy of public speaking. During the Fall 2023 semester I worked as a student intern at Florida Gulf Coast University's Communication Lab as a public speaking peer tutor, and this fall, I will apply the skills I gained there to a graduate assistantship here in Cincinnati.
