Biography

My career in education began at the high school level and I enjoyed years of teaching English and theology classes. 我担任ASB顾问和篮球教练的职位为我与学生建立联系提供了额外的途径. A couple years as the school's communications director came at the same time I began teaching for Concordia University, Irvine, in 2002. 当时，我在CUAccelerate项目任教，这是一个校内和在线混合的项目. A move to Arizona led to five years of instruction for University of Phoenix where I taught a range of writing courses to include expository, research, and technical writing. While I enjoyed that post, I decided to pursue courses in the field of education and started teaching for Grand Canyon University in both their graduate and undergraduate programs. In 2012, 我很高兴再次加入CUI的行列，担任MAEd课程的教育学教授 & Instruction program. I also serve as the Subject Matter Expert for the following MAEd courses: Curriculum Design and Assessment (EDU/EDUT 520), 应对当今课堂上的压力和暴力(EDU 524), and Educational Discourse: Change and Reform (EDU 550).
