At ¾«Ñ¡AV, I teach fiction writing and English composition courses with a focus in Women's and Gender Studies, in addition to supporting students gaining Social Justice Work Experience (through IDST 300). I have been English faculty since 2008, and since 2014, have chaired the Women's and Gender Studies department -- one of eight departments in ¾«Ñ¡AV's Ethnic Studies and Social Justice collaborative. Together we're building strength to continue our movements for justice.

I approach both teaching and writing as a creative practice, and feel stimulated by the ways I continue to grow and learn through my work at the college. For information about my creative writing, visit .
