Position
- Teaching Professor
I am a Teaching Professor for the Department of English at Iowa State University specializing in cross-cultural and cross-linguistic academic communications and composition since 2007. I have served as the Course Curriculum Coordinator for English 101C for International students and Vice-Chair of the College of LAS Representative Assembly. I have taught English 99, 101,150, 250, 302, 314, and Linguistics 219 and 220 and have led several study abroad trips. My research interests in composition studies, academic ESL/EFL writing, and teacher training focus on student autonomy, authenticity, intercultural competence, and genre awareness.
I have a B.A. in English from UC Berkeley, a post-baccalaureate K-12 teaching credential from Cal State University East Bay, and a Master's in Applied Linguistics/TESL from ISU.
I moved to Ames in 2002 after growing up in Berkeley, California. I have traveled widely and worked in many parts of the world, including China, Ghana, Thailand, Cuba, Japan, the UK, and Israel/Palestine. I enjoy doing anything outdoors, especially cycling as my main transportation. I am in my fourth decade of the sport of Ultimate Frisbee, and other favorite activities include mountain biking, disc golf, rock climbing, and anything in water.
