Biography
"Multi-culturalism should be seen as an asset, not only to the arts, but to all aspects of life. Cross fertilization and the merging of many great races is what makes a civilization truly flourish." (Matthew H. Hunter Jr.)
The study of Culture and Communication is of the utmost importance to me and I find it necessary to share this concept with my students. I began teaching in 1999 and have taught a variety of communication courses which include: Interpersonal Communication, Voice & Diction, Public Speaking, Ways of Knowing Communication, Intro to Communication and Business & Professional Speaking. I received my B.A. in Media Management from Clark Atlanta University. I received my M.A. in Speech & Interpersonal Communication from New York University.
