My Bio…
I have a PhD in Organizational Communications from KU and a B.A. and M.A. in Communication Studies from UMKC. I first began teaching speech with Longview in January 1999. Since then, I have taught at the following colleges and universities: Avila, Donnelly, KCKCC, JCCC and KU. Currently, I am an instructor at MCC-Maple Woods. I have taught the following classes: introduction to literature; a hybrid course comprising speech, interpersonal communication and group work; public speaking, intercultural communication; persuasive speaking; personal and interpersonal communication; news writing; organizational communication and media production. Prior to teaching I have worked in newspaper, television, radio and public relations.
Me and Speech…
Personally…
I have been teaching Public Speaking for over fourteen years and unlike a lot of people, I LOVE Public Speaking.
I am all about my family. I love movies and music. I love gardening, but I kill plants, not on purpose. I love to cook, which really is a lie. I actually hate to cook, but I’m a good cook. However, my standards are low… Being a good cook means that the fire department hasn’t made a visit to my house in a long time! Seriously though, speech class can be scary, always feel comfortable to come and talk to me.
