Dr. Rossman received their Ph.D. in Rhetoric and Communication Ethics at the University of Denver and earned an M.A. in Political Studies at the University of Illinois, Springfield.

They have a feeling that going to OL Reign games and becoming a coffee aficionado will soon find a place within the bio.
