Welcome!

Thank you for visiting my portfolio! 

I have been an adjunct instructor of English at both College of Lake County and Harper College, as well a writing specialist in the Harper College Writing Center, since August 2014. I earned my master's degree in Critical Studies in Literacy and Pedagogy in the department of Writing, Rhetoric, and American Cultures at Michigan State University. I am excited to share with you the learning and teaching I have done as I look to continue serving diverse community college populations as a composition instructor and department member.

Within this portfolio, you can view or download a number of documents pertaining to my teaching experience and skills. My teaching philosophy describes the motivations and beliefs I bring to instruction. Under teaching materials you will find documents such as assignment sheets, rubrics, syllabi, and presentations that I have adapted and created as a first-year writing instructor. The administration tab will take you to a description of my work as a writing center graduate coordinator. My coursework page includes projects and assignments I completed as part of my master's program. Finally, please refer to my curriculum vitae for a summary of my qualifications and skills.
