Summary
I retired in July, 2023 after teaching full-time at Vol State for 23 years. I taught college-level composition, several genres of literature, and film appreciation both in-person and online. I also taught writing in English to speakers of other languages. After several months off, I'm eager to teach part-time and interact with students.
