Experience

I have been working with students since 2003 when I started teaching developmental English courses, both online and on campus for Alvin Community College. Since then, I have taught both online and on campus for a number of colleges and universities, using WebCT, Blackboard, and several proprietary online interfaces. While at Alvin Community College, I worked in their writing center as a tutor, and while I was with Kaplan University (online), I took on the role of a writing coach, going into classrooms that were not focused on English but that required writing to offer assistance and outreach to students who were struggling. I currently hold a Post-Master’s Certificate in College Teaching and have completed 48 hours of doctoral coursework in Education (Post-Secondary and Adult Education). I also hold an MFA in Creative Writing, an MA in English Literature, and an MA in Liberal Arts, as well as a BS in Information Technology.
