Background

After working in the communication field for several years, I am excited to share my knowledge and experience with students at WLC. I believe it is important to combine practical experience with theoretical perspectives. My education and work experience has offered that opportunity, and I hope to help prepare students for their future work. In my free time, I enjoy reading, spending time with friends and family, and music and theater.
