About

    This semester will mark the end of my thirty-third year of teaching English, and I still enjoy working with students immensely.  I received my B.S.  in Broad Fields English and Secondary Education from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.  I received my M.A. in English from the University of Hawaii.  I have taught in California, Oregon, Washington, and Hawaii. 
   In addition to teaching, I also write.  I am working on a book of short stories about women who live in West Africa, where I used to live, also.  I have taken much of the advice that I give to students about pre-writing, character sketches, and research, and I think that it enhances the writing experience and the results.  I even learned more about the Krio language from a Peace Corps manual! 
   I look forward to meeting a new group of students and encouraging their growth as writers, readers, and critical thinkers as they prepare for the rest of their academic careers.
