Hello! I have been teaching English Composition at Arapahoe Community College since 2004 and have taught all levels of Comp. classes and literature at Community College of Denver and Metropolitan State College of Denver since 2000.

In the spring of 2006, I began my adventure in online learning as the eLearning Coordinator at Arapahoe Community College. In this position, I assist faculty and students with everything from course development to navigation. I also train faculty on how to use our online platform. The best part of this position is helping others resolve their technological conundrum s.

I love to teach writing. There is nothing finer than to hear a student say to me at the end of the semester that they used to hate writing, but I showed them not only that they can do it, but do it well.

I love to write. I have received many accolades for my writing including Fellowships and publications. I have written a novel and am working on a collection of essays.

My educational background is colorful: I have a Bachelor of Science Degree in piano performance from Eastern Michigan University. I studied with Dady Mehta, cousin to the great Zubin Mehta. I moved along to Syracuse University, where I acquired a Masters in Science in Instructional Design, Development, and Evaluation. I worked as a technical writer during the acquisition of this degree and rediscovered my great passion for writing. I resolved to move to Colorado and attend Naropa University, where I received my Masters of Fine Arts in Creative Writing and was awarded the Jack Kerouac Fellowship in Prose in 1998.

My biography has been published in Marquis Who’s Who in America since 2004, Who’s Who of American Women since 2006, and Who’s Who of American Educators since 2006, as well.

The joys of my life are my son, my vast network of friends, and of course, writing. I swim and jog to stay healthy and sane.

Live a story worth writing!
