With Cabrillo College since 2003

Office visits: I enjoy working and visiting with students. PLEASE MAKE AN APPOINTMENT to avoid waiting in line or running out of time. If you cannot make my regularly scheduled times, we will try to schedule a meeting that will work with both our busy lives. I also often meet with students in the library to help with research projects, so you might find me there!

Reading critically and writing well can challenge the way you perceive the world and influence the way the world sees you. When you write about something, you have the opportunity to think and feel about it deeply. When others read what you have written, your expression represents you.
