    My deep curiosity about the human mind and its development, 进化, and adaptation across environments led me to study the human condition from many angles. I completed degrees in psychology and neuroscience at Texas A&M and Columbia University, 分别. I also completed degrees in English/Philosophy and History of Ideas at University of Texas at Austin and UT Dallas, 分别.

    By investing in writing as a process, I want students to see that they are investing in themselves. I aim to facilitate active participation in new literacies that foster mindfulness so that students will know the powerful weight of their words. I completed a MA and PhD in English and Philosophy from the University of North Texas, I have spent fourteen years teaching at various universities and community colleges, and I have found a home here at SMU in the WRTR program where I am able to help students excel in their writing and reasoning powers in and beyond the classroom.

No matter where I have worked, teaching has always been at the heart of my job. Working one-on-one with students and getting to know them better is one of my favorite things about teaching at SMU.

    Coordinator of the 写作中心

    I am passionate about teaching writing. Before transitioning into full-time, 高等教育教学, I taught both middle and high school English. 作为一名教师, I work diligently to provide my students with a learning experience which they will find both relevant and engaging. My approach is often rooted in real-world experiences. I enjoy building a rapport with my students that allows me to help them progress as writers and critical thinkers. The phrase "I don't know" is always challenged in my classroom. My belief is that EVERY student has something to share, and it is my job to help them realize that their voice has relevance and purpose.

    写作中心

    After I completed my undergraduate degree in English at the University of Texas at Dallas, I came to SMU to study in the MA Program in English.  作为助教, I taught my first writing class at SMU in the fall of 1985, 我仍然是一只快乐的野马! 从那时起, I’ve worked with SMU students at all levels of the first-year writing sequence, 以及荣誉光盘, and as an A-LEC tutor and 写作中心 faculty member.  对我来说, nothing’s better than working with students as they examine texts, 完善自己的看法, and then structure their ideas to communicate their insights to a reader.  I’m constantly excited to help empower student writers to develop their ability to craft their work so they create not only an answer to an assignment but also an energetic representation of their insights.
