BIO

My Story

I'm a fifth-generation educator on both sides of my family. I grew up visiting my father's college classes at the local trade school, and helping out in my mother's classroom for students who are Deaf and Hard of Hearing. When I graduated college, I taught in Early Childhood Education. I began teaching college courses in education and psychology as an adjunct instructor and I fell in love with it. I decided to get my PhD so I could put all of my efforts toward making the college experience better for my students.
