I hold a Bachelors of Science degree in Interdisciplinary Studies (major in International Studies). My Masters of Arts of Liberal Studies major is Cultural Anthropology and my Human Services Doctorate focused on Multi-cultural Counseling. I recently retired as a college professor and have 14 years of experience as an instructor both in the classroom and online. While most of my teaching has been with traditional classes, I have extensive experience tutoring one on one as well. Subjects taught include psychology, law and ethics for healthcare professionals, English (including writing and literature), and environmental studies. However, as my personal educational journey from Bachelors to PhD was of a broad and deep nature, I am also qualified to teach many additional subjects in the humanities and social sciences. My motivation as an instructor remains high due to the enjoyment and satisfaction I derive seeing students encounter that, "ah ha!" moment, when a previously difficult concept becomes understandable. I also flourish when encouraging students to think critically about topics and life in general. I love when students challenge me it indicates I'm doing my job! My style of teaching is very "user friendly". I am quite approachable, energetic, and love to use humor in my teaching. I also was voted by the student body at the college at which I taught, "The Most Popular Instructor in the Division of Health Disciplines for the Academic Year 2010-2011" and have been regularly told by students that it's very obvious that I love what I do. In my leisure time, I enjoy reading, films, theatre, spending time with my pets and traveling.
