Bio

As a teacher of writing and literature, I believe that stories and the way we communicate our ideas are essential to who we are as human beings. By studying these concepts, students can understand how they can craft their own words and stories to best effect, but also how the stories and words they hear and read are used to affect them.

Bio

I have enjoyed teaching Communication and Student Success courses at CUW for almost 10 years. My favorite course to teach is Intercultural Communication because I love how the students have the opportunity to interact with people from various cultures. My career in international education has allowed me to travel the world and I bring those experiences with me into the classroom.
