Biography

Hi! I'm Autumn Buzzetta (she/her/hers) and I'm a Graduate Teaching Assistant here for the Communication Studies department at Colorado State University. I teach SPCM 333: Professional Communication and SPCM 684: Supervised College Teaching. My research revolves around organizational communication, specifically within churches and faith-based organizations. In my free time, I love to hike, swim, paint, read, and play with my son, Ezekiel.
