I am an Associate Professor of English at Columbia State Community College. I teach mostly Comp 1 and 2, but also do a couple of literature surveys every year. I am currently working with a team of colleagues to create an OER version of our Comp 2 course. I am especially interested in Open Pedagogy, and also interested in how the pandemic has prompted changes in our teaching practices. I have one dog and three cats. My favorite television programs include the original Star Trek, The X-files, The Expanse, Outlander, and This Is Us. My favorite authors include Emily Dickinson, Edith Wharton, and Jane Austen.
