Experience
I've had the occasion to teach English and composition in two unique settings. First, UW provided me with a structural curriculum that helped me build the foundation for my own curriculum at the Laramie County Community College. I have experience teaching rhetoric and the development of rhetorical strategies and essays, critical thinking and reading skills, as well as comprehension of fiction and many forms of nonfiction "texts" gathered from journalism, popular culture, music and film. In addition, I have plenty of classroom experience with modern and contemporary American literature, as well as American literature created in and about the West and American frontier. During my second Master's in American Studies I co-taught an introduction to museum studies, and an introduction to cultural diversity in American culture. Through both M.A.'s in English and American Studies, I gained a deeper understanding of gender, class, region, occupational identity, popular culture, material culture, and food studies.
