Before becoming a professor, I spent 15 years helping organizations communicate more effectively with their internal and external audiences. As a consultant for IBM, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, American Red Cross, CARE International, and many other national and international organizations, I helped clients build confidence, credibility and trust through communication.

 

In 2004, I brought my expertise into the classroom. Over the years I've taught Basic Writing, Composition I, Composition II, Creative Writing, and Business & Organizational Writing for public and private universities across the country.
