Teaching Experience
I have taught at ACC since 1993. I have also taught at Houston Community College and University of Houston, from 1991-1993. In 2010, I started working with the Honors Program at ACC, teaching a course in gothic literature that I designed. I have also designed a LEAD (LAG) course called Storytelling: The Dark Side, which is a Composition 2 course.
