Kristina Wenzel is a Master’s student and Graduate Teaching Assistant in Communication at North Dakota State University. She received her B.A. in 2006 from the University of St. Thomas (St. Paul, MN) in Business Communication with a Minor in Women’s Studies.
Wenzel’s area of interest is in organizational communication. She is primarily interested in the transition from work to retirement, and long-term care organizations that serve the elderly. Wenzel’s current research explores how people make sense of layoffs, and how nursing assistants in nursing homes make sense of their work experience and occupation. In addition, she hopes to begin research on communal coping in long-term care organizations.
