Biography
Greetings! I look forward to serving you—the students of the Houston Community College System. My job is to help you achieve your educational and career goals. Currently, I am the Assistant Chair of the Southwest College English, Education, and Humanities Department. I hold an AA in Humanities from
Beginning with a graduate assistantship position in the English Department at Stephen F. Austin, I have been teaching non-stop since 1973. I consider myself to be a life-long learner and am a firm believer in the ancient proverb: “The journey is just as important as the arrival.” I support the democratic classroom where all students have an equal opportunity to learn, create, imagine, think critically, communicate effectively, and succeed. Another ancient proverb I like states, "When the student is ready, the teacher appears." I have appeared. Are you ready?
