With Briar Cliff: Since 1989

Teaching Expertise: Visual Communications (photography & graphics, new media), Public Relations, and Media Ethics

My teaching philosophy: I believe that each student is unique and learns in various ways. It is my role as a facilitator of learning, to create an environment that students feel comfortable and are willing to challenge themselves. I use various independent and collaborative methods and activities so students can find what works for them. It is my hope that students become pro-active, problem solving, independent learners now and after their traditional education ends. I believe learning is a life-long two way process, and that I become a better person from this experience.
