Biography
With a blended background in business, education, and music, I encourage and inspire others to succeed. I have been with Estrella Mountain Community College since August 2011, and my academic values include communication, critical thinking, variety, creativity, and relevance. I also believe in treating everyone with dignity. In addition to my work here, I have been teaching Communication courses for Grand Canyon University since March 2009. I have an eclectic taste in music of all genres and cultures, and I am a drummer, having played several years in musical theatre and a diversity of bands. I enjoy solving crossword puzzles, walking, hiking, reading, and watching an occasional movie or television series.
