Biography

I teach creative writing, literature, film, composition, and Humanities courses. I wholeheartedly believe in the value of service, travel, and other experiential learning, so I incorporate those activities as often as possible in all my courses. My mission as an educator is reflected in this paraphrase from Chaucer: Gladly would she learn and gladly teach.
