I have been in the higher education field for over 10 years. I earned my B.A. in Literature & Language and my M.A. in English with dual emphases in TESL and Rhetoric/Composition from Cal Poly Pomona. In addition, I have a Postsecondary Reading and Learning Certificate in Teaching from Cal State Fullerton.

My experience includes teaching English and teacher training in China, teaching and coordinating at IEPs, teaching community college credit ESOL and English courses, and mentoring graduate students in TESOL from University of San Diego.

I am an Assistant Professor of English, Reading, and ESOL at San Diego Miramar College where I also co-coordinate the Basic Skills Initiative (BSI) and Basic Skills Student Outcomes Transformation Grant.

I also like reading, writing, yoga, and cats.
