I am an associate professor of English who has over 15 years of experience at Viterbo. I earned my B.A. in English and my master’s in Secondary English Education from UW-La Crosse, and in August 2019, I graduated with my Ph.D. in Language and Literacy from Cardinal Stritch University in Milwaukee. In my time at Viterbo, I have taught first-year composition courses, Franciscan Values and Traditions, and a range of other writing courses related to argument, journalism, and professional and technical writing.  This fall, I will be particularly active on campus in my roles as chair of English and World Languages and as the advisor for Viterbo’s student newspaper, Lumen.
