Adjunct Professor

• Sep 2016 - Present

I teach and have taught for the English and ESL departments at Bunker Hill Community College. I feel English courses at the community college level are an opportunity to fine-tune your writing, develop higher-order thinking skills, and find your voice as a college student. I have proposed, planned, and designed the curriculum for ESL cluster courses that serve as a bridge for students from the ESL program to general Ed classes. These courses help students transition, reinforce the strategies they need to succeed in the classroom, work closely with the support services available on campus and online, and create a learning community with others on a journey identical to theirs. I truly love contributing to the academic careers of students marking their paths toward their futures. Show less
