FACULTY VICE-PRESIDENT Membership

I teach English (basic skills composition-advanced composition, and American Literature) in the Communication Arts department. I have many heroes in my life. A few are: my mother, for teaching me about the importance of a liberal education; Kathleen Hannah because she shouts her message loud and clear; Walt Whitman, for envisioning and beautifully communicating a spiritual democracy; and all faculty and students who believe in what they do. My hobbies include reading, writing, cooking, and surfing. I am inspired everyday by my students.
