Dr. Lamberti grew up on a Century Farm near Des Moines, Iowa, where she helped with the corn, soybean and alfalfa crops and a herd of Milking Shorthorn dairy cattle, and exhibited projects as a 4-H'er at county and state fairs.

She holds a Master's in creative writing and a Ph.D. in rhetoric and professional communication, both from Iowa State University, where she taught technical writing, rhetorical analysis, business communication, and first-year composition. She also has worked as a communications specialist and Web site designer for public organizations such as the Iowa Department of Transportation, and for private industries such as Thomson Publishing.

Dr. Lamberti now is an Assistant Professor of English Language and Literature at the University of Northern Iowa, where she coordinates and teaches in the Professional Writing Program, and coordinates the departmental Cooperative Education Program. Her research interests, largely inspired by issues raised in professional writing classes, include organizational cultures, professional communication ethics (both in practice and in pedagogy), and technology-mediated communication genres.

One of the biggest challenges of her research is keeping the paperwork safe from a vicious-looking but friendly-hearted dog named Obo (who bites only occasionally), a friendly-looking but vicious-hearted cat named Belle (who always bites), and an alarmingly oversized cat named Oscar (who bites only food).
