Bio

I received a B.A. in History from the University of Texas at Austin. I then received a M.A. in English from The College of William and Mary in Virginia. I began teaching for the Writing Program in 1990. After taking a seven-year break in the early 2000s, I returned to teaching. In 2026, I will be celebrating my thirty-year anniversary with UT San Antonio.

I generally teach two sections of WRC 1013 each semester. I am also the Associate Director of the Judith G. Gardner Center for Writing Excellence. When I’m on campus and not teaching, I can usually be found in The Writing Center (John Peace Library - 2.01.12D). I’m proud to serve as the Faculty Advisor for Alpha Delta Pi sorority.
