Teaching Experience:
I have taught for the last six years for CCEDL, Lebanon Valley College (undergraduate and MBA program) and Harrisburg Area Community College.

Business Communications and Foundations for Accelerated Learning 

Teaching Philosophy:
Life is too short for boring presentations, poor interpersonal communication and bad business writing! My goal in teaching is to help others become better communicators, specifically in the business world. All too often, people think they are effective communicators; in reality, there is room for improvement at least in one area.

My role is as a facilitator of learning. Adults have a number of life experiences that they could and should bring into the classroom to aid learning. Much of the learning in my classroom is done through small group discussion and activities.
