I have been teaching for over fifteen years, seven at the high school level and twelve at the college level (there was some overlap, quite a few years where I was working at both). I have taught at many different colleges including, of course, Stony Brook University (eleven years now), Farmingdale State College, CUNY Queensborough, Nassau Community College, and Suffolk County Community College. 

I've taught courses ranging from Developmental Writing, Intermediate Writing, Technical Writing, Introduction to Literature, Creative Writing, Writing for the Computer Sciences, Study Skills, and Pop Culture. During my many years teaching actual college and high-school courses, I've also worked as a Writing Center tutor and consultant in tandem at these various locations. In fact, Writing Center theory formed the foundation of my MA thesis. My experiences with my former Writing Center work have shaped how I teach as well as my own past experiences as a student. I've learned quite a bit about professor expectations across college campuses and from one educational institution to the next. I'm familiar with all different genres of writing in academia, and hence, I teach my courses with this in mind. My goal is to prepare my students to have success with any writing assignment in any context.
