Hello and Welcome!

I am a proud Adjunct Professor of English Composition and English as a Second Language Instructor at Cosumnes River Community College. I am also the English Composition Faculty Coordinator for the Sac State EOP Summer Bridge Programs. This teaching portfolio/blog will demonstrate how I use open educational resources, and culturally responsive teaching strategies to support anti-racist and inclusive teaching and learning in my literacy courses to ensure learning is student centered, and meaningful. Further, this space houses critical ideas (mostly ideas barrowed from academics who I like to call critics of the academy--the academic outliers) who cannot be fitted-into one disciplinary box or way of knowing and being; thus, as you will see, I am not fixated to one kind of practice or method of teaching, my humanized interdisciplinary teachings, which I seek out on my own, have informed my practices-practices that I revise and modify constantly.

Consider this website my teaching praxis - a modality to hold myself accountable for my teaching methods and to inspire my viewers to think critically about language and communication- and to question the modalities and mainstream entities that construct 'knowledge' and 'truth'.
