Biography
About Me:
I’m a proud graduate of Mesa Community College and ASU. Go Devils! My Bachelor's and Master’s degrees are in Communication, with an emphasis in Advocacy.
I chose to study communication because I love learning new skills to improve my life and wanted to learn how to use my strengths and knowledge to help others transform their lives.
I have had the opportunity to work with thousands of college students since 2001 as an Academic Advisor, Communication Tutor and Faculty Member, Department Chair, Assistant Dean, Dean, and Director of Career Services.
I believe if we lead with a spirit of service, we will always receive more than we need. Over the last 25 years, I’ve had the opportunity to support the homeless, veterans, abused and neglected children and animals, and indigenous people through my volunteer work. I’m also a proud cat Mom.
About My Classes:
Because I have experienced the lifelong value of being in service to others, I integrate service learning into my in-person classes. I believe that learning should be fun, insightful, and impactful. My classes include activities that will challenge you to think outside the box and inspire you. I don’t believe in busy work. Students often tell me they leave my class feeling part of a new community, with skills they can use to strengthen their personal and professional relationships, and an acute awareness of their value. I look forward to working with you!
