I thrive on teaching–from curriculum design to implementation to assessment. I have designed curriculum and taught students in a variety of settings and institutions:

• junior high students
• writing tutors
• first year writing/composition
• upper division rhetoric and writing classes
• advanced writing for the disciplines
• student teachers
• graduate teaching assistants

As a Scholar of Teaching and Learning, I study learning and employ what I learn to improve my teaching as well as the teaching others do. It’s so fulfilling to see people blossom and develop confidence in their own abilities.
