Biography
Teaching Philosophy: I run my classes like writing/discussion workshops, because I believe the only way for students to improve their writing is for them actually to write. Most of the class time is student-driven with the students either responding in discussion to assigned professional essays, their own writing, or works of literature. Thus, students come out of my classes knowing to comple both individual and group work assignments, which are sharpening both their independent and team-playing skills which they will need to be an active part of working America.
