Why I Teach

I prepare and deliver lectures that promote the principles of St. Edward’s University — critical thinking, social justice and ethical practice. All of my classes embody the best traditions of a liberal arts education that prepares students to write and communicate clearly, solve problems and think creatively across many subjects.

I strive to provide my students with every opportunity to master the knowledge of their area of study. I also assist them with internship placements and career counseling so they will have a promising professional future.
