Lecturer in Critical Media Literacy and English

Welcome students and colleagues, and thanks for taking the time to learn more about me and what I do.

 

On this site, you will find information about my scholarly and personal endeavors. I currently teach English at the Montana State University, Billings (MSUB) Veterans Upward Bound program.

 

I am passionate not only about helping students learn the skills they need to succeed academically, but also about fostering within them a sense of commitment to furthering social justice through critical thinking and participatory democracy.
