I am an Associate Journalism Professor at Palomar College. I was hired full-time in 2007 and awarded tenure in 2011.- I teach both journalism and communication classes as well as advise the student-run, award-winning newspaper, www.The-Telescope.com and award-winning magazine Impact https://www2.palomar.edu/impactmagazine/.
- I love teaching and am so honored to be a part of Palomar College. The students here inspire me everyday.
- I just wrote my first textbook. It’s online and free to remove barriers for students. It is designed for the introductory journalism class.

- Before that, I wrote and reported for various newspapers in Central California, Washington State, Washington, D.C. and Chicago.
