I'm passionate about
I love teaching students how to organize a speech, create a visual presentation, and integrate their personality into a public presentation. I also love teaching college age students in my Communication in Human Interactions class. They come to my class with their lifetime of communication experience, then learn skills to improve their interactions. It's fun to hear how they implement the concepts from our textbook and discussions into their lives. I love hiking, kayaking, traveling, and music!
