Welcome to Fall 2023!
I am very happy you are here. I hope that you are excited about enriching your academic writing. As an English teacher, the classes I teach are designed to empower student voices through their writing. It is my firm belief that becoming a better reader and writer, improves one's critical thinking. The goal of these courses is to impart the language and critical thinking skills that will help you navigate and succeed in your future courses and careers.
Whether you are prospective student or current student, please spend some time reviewing the information and syllabi in the above course pages.
Accessing the additional information on this website will help you get more accustomed to my course(s) and hopefully provide answers to some of your questions about the course. On this webpage you will find information on how to contact me, some CCSF and English department resources, my different course syllabi, and other student information in the course pages.
