This year I'm excited to pilot an interdisciplinary, project-based course that includes an FTS and a linked LARS/ NASP course: "Digging In: Considering Ecology and Community." Before serving as Chair of the English department from 2011-2014, I directed our Writing Center (2000-2011) and the WAC Program (2000-2005).  If there's an initiative on campus related to writing, I'm probably involved in it, and I'm especially passionate about teaching and learning with multilingual students.  I teach a wide range of courses, including Writing Creative Nonfiction, Writing Process, First Term Seminar, and Senior Seminar. I'm especially excited about a new course called Writing and Nonprofits.  I am interested in the relationship between writing and identity, and I'm currently working on a project that involves teaching pilot sections of First Term Seminar (FTS) designed specifically for multilingual students.  I studied Rhetoric and Composition in graduate school, and my real passion is teaching writing--all kinds of writing--to all sorts of students. I also write poetry and creative nonfiction.  My first chapbook of poems, Chasing Northern Lights, was published by Finishing Line Press in 2012, and I published two pieces of creative nonfiction in 2015. I just completed a book-length collection of poems, as well as an article titled "Rhetorical Push and Pull: A Case Study of Multilingual Writers at a Small Private College."  In my other life, I'm the mother of three boys who keep me very, very busy.
