About

I began my college student experience at CSM over 30 years ago. I remember sitting in the back of one of my classes and thinking that one day I would teach here. I continued taking classes, while marrying and growing a family, but I never lost sight of the dream to become a public-school teacher and college professor. I also own and operate a thriving wedding decor rental company in St. Mary's County.

Educational Background

I have a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and a Master of Science in Human Services, and I have begun working on my Ph.D. in psychology.

Q&A

Please describe your teaching style.

I have developed my style of teaching in a manner that engages my students and best helps them to learn, while also considering the diverse group of students in my classroom. This includes a combination of a lecture-based style, a student-centered teaching style, democratic teaching, progressive teaching, a collaborative style of teaching, but most importantly, engaging.

Do you work or volunteer outside the college as well?

My family and I are missionaries to the Dominican Republic.
