Welcome
This website comprises academic and professional activity from 1996 through current day. For the most recent academic work, please view my Curriculum Vitae and relevant years from Committee Review Documents.
I am a full-time instructor at Salt Lake Community College in the English Department where I teach freshman composition, technical writing and linguistics. My full-time Lecturer appointment began Fall 2014, though I had already taught adjunct since 2003 in English, Linguistics, Developmental Writing and Learning Enhancement.
I have a broad history of teaching in varying instructional contexts, traditional and non-traditional, youth and adult, from basic ESL through University-level composition. I have taught at community centers, a prison campus, community college and university. I teach online, hybrid and face-to-face. I also teach employing OER and low-cost texts as well as employing service learning.
Involvement in tutoring centers has contributed significantly to my teaching. My work has included live face-to-face, synchronous and asynchronous online tutoring. For several years I served as the online, asynchronous tutoring quality assurance coordinator for a multi-institutional tutoring consortium. I served a decade at SLCC as a full-time staff coordinator for tutoring at SLCC's Learning Centers where I coordinated the College Reading and Learning Association Tutor Certification Program and designed many of the materials that remain in use today. Tutoring was my original gateway into teaching. Through tutoring, I entered into teaching from the view that learning is multi-faceted and individual. I prioritize student access in all teaching.
