Biography

Hi! I'm Autumn (Neal) 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 T.A. for SPCM 130: Relational and Organizational Communication. 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 kitten, Estes. You can usually find me on campus with an oat milk matcha and sporting my "Colorado State University Grandpa" sweatshirt!
