Welcome to my Personal  Web site area!

This page will tell you a little about me and what I like to do when I am not teaching composition.

For starters, I am a recent graduate of California State University, Long Beach with a Master's Degree in English/Literacy.  I received my BA from CSULB in English - Creative Writing  and  took many of the same classes that you will, undoubtedly, take.  Some of my favorite classes from my undergraduate days include: Forensic Science and Advanced Forensic Science, all of my English Classes (of course), Intercultural Communication (451/551), and Theory of Fiction and Film.  If you are interested check out the link or ask me.

I spent my entire undergraduate and graduate career working full-time for the Business Office as well as participating in other fun opportunities.  I was a tutor in the Writers' Resource Lab and with the English Placement Test program.  In addition, I taught the Writing Proficiency Test Preparation for 2 semesters and this class for 2 semesters.  I also had the opportunity to volunteer for the Students Talk About Race (STAR) program for one semester.  I highly recommend trying this!

Stuff you just needed to know?

I am pretty much a television junky and enjoy old films (particularly Film Noir).  When I read, I like detective fiction ala Raymond Chandler or Medieval stuff.  I also like sports and am a football fanatic.

I have three cats that I am very allergic to.  So, why would I have cats?  Because I love animals.  I drove across country ( Massachusetts to CA) with one cat (Aku Abu -- Kuu) who died in Amarillo, but I revived her.   I picked up the other two (Zeke and Haussenfeffer) here.
