About Me: I've taught English at our college since 1997, first as a part-time instructor and now full-time. During the years I was part-time, I was an executive in banking, so I taught at night. I was also a freelance journalist for 15 years writing a human interest column for the Bay Area News Group. These days I am involved in many initiatives on our campus, including Guided Pathways and supporting our military veteran community. I love teaching English and sharing my enthusiasm for writing.
