Hello. I've been teaching courses in English, literature, and humanities for over 16 years now, and I’ve been teaching online for about 8 years. I find teaching exciting even after all these years. I've taught at a variety of colleges and universities, joining ACC about four years ago. I must say that it is a great learning environment for all—instructors and students.

I have a masters in English and American literature with an emphasis in teaching writing. My bachelor's degree is in literature and English as well. Both degrees are from the University of Colorado.

I’m the author of two books, so I really do write—it is not a mere tool to torture students! My first book is The Magic of Horses: Horses as Healers. It’s about the healing power of animals, mainly horses and how they can heal humans spiritually, emotionally, and even physically. My second book is When Horses Could Fly and Other Fantastic Tales. It’s a children’s book for adults and explains why horses snort, gallop, whinny, eat grass and have manes, tails, four hooves and are different colors. See www.equibooks for more information.

As you can see, I use writing to express my passion for animals and nature. I’m also a member of Colorado Author’s League, Colorado’s premiere group of professional writers.
