I am a graduate of Austin Peay State University with a Bachelor's in English and a Master's in Corporate Communication.

Communication--speaking and listening & reading and writing--is at the center of all academic and career pursuits. It is an honor and a privilege to work alongside young people to increase their technical ability and to unleash their creative power through shared experiences with various cultures and expressions.

I anticipate high levels of growth, and I expect students to develop a strong work ethic as well as an ability to balance their responsibilities.

I look forward to helping all of my students achieve, and I expect a strong work ethic, respect for deadlines, and a willingness to learn and expand our minds. We start instruction day one.

Reflection is also a part of the learning process and is always strongly encouraged. With the right mindset, we can all grow in our knowledge and skills by working collaboratively and independently, and completing assigned tasks in a timely manner.
