Welcome to my home page.  

My educational background: I have taught English and humanities for years, first starting in public schools in 1972.  I began my career in Richmond, Virginia, teaching at John F. Kennedy High School.  From there, I took a two-year break working as a project coordinator for construction.  Next came a year at a high school in Vestal, New York, and ten years teaching 7-12th grade in Greene, New York. 

In Greenwood, I have been at Piedmont Technical College since 1988.  In addition, I spent one year as Liaison/Ambassador between PTC and Lander, teaching on both campuses.  The only English class I have not taught is English 202.

My educational philosophy:  As an instructor, it is my job to facilitate your learning;  learning is your job.  I am not teaching the course based on your needs today;  I am teaching for possibly five years in your future.  Working hard now will ensure your future. I will try to help you; I cannot replace your own effort.
