Welcome
Welcome to my online teaching portfolio! I am an adjunct faculty member in both the English Department and the Linguistics Department. I have been teaching writing and editing courses as an adjunct for the last 43 years—20 of those years at BYU. I love teaching what I am passionate about: writing and language. I love watching my writing students evolve in both their thinking and writing abilities, and I love teaching editing and the intellectual pursuit of helping writing be clear, clean, and compelling.
I also love to camp, hike, and read, read, read. I enjoy lively discussions and finding connections from what I read to everyday life. I am a World War II buff, a soccer lover, and a closet fantasy/adventure reader. I love language. I love learning. I love sharing what I learn. And most of all, I love the students I get to teach and learn from. Obviously I must be in the right profession because I keep throwing around the word love. But it is all true. Teaching brings me joy. |
