Faculty statement/Why do you like teaching at Lake Land College?

I LOVE my job, absolutely LOVE what I do. I never work a day in my life. The biggest joy is watching students enter the classroom the first day of class. Students are nervous to be in a communication course with the main objective to present a speech in front of their peers. Sixteen weeks later I watch them leave the room, feeling proud, accomplished, self-assured and talking to all of their classmates. It is the most rewarding part of my job. 

Research interests, Specializations, and Background

I love learning about communication and how it has evolved from the Greek Philosphers, through technology to our current day of communication.
