About
I work as a writer and adjunct faculty at two colleges. I teach both Computer Programming and English classes. Teaching computer systems and programming is interesting, yet challenging, because the computer industry constantly changes. Although Liberal Arts is not as volatile as Technology, the discipline is now integrating technology more and more. I think expertise in both disciplines makes me a better teacher and project designer.
