Profile

I have been teaching in the MCCCD for the past 18 years! I started at Phoenix College in 2003, moved to Mesa Community College in 2004 and added Chandler-Gilbert in 2006. Currently I am only teaching at Mesa Community College and am so happy to be based at the Red Mountain Campus. I have a Bachelor of Science in Advertising from NAU and a Master of Arts in Communication from SDSU. I love teaching Communication but more than that I love watching students' lives be transformed by improving their communication. I enjoy teaching in all course formats but the classroom will always be my first choice! I feel privileged to teach at the community college level and am honored to help students save money, enjoy smaller class sizes and learn how to be successful in the post secondary world of education.
