Brief biography
My experiences as an instructor in Higher Education include teaching at the Institute for Professional Studies in Education (IPSE) - Department of Educational Leadership Studies, (IPSE) Masters of Education - Professional Development, and in the School of Education - Department of Educational Studies at UW-L. I have also taught in the Education Department at Ave Maria University in Ave Maria, Florida, and in the Student Success Department at Florida Southwestern State College In Naples, Florida. I also served the Menasha School District in Menasha, Wisconsin for twenty-five years as an elementary school principal, district summer school administrator, district mathematics coordinator, elementary school teacher, and science program support teacher. I am proud of the work I have done to enrich the lives of students and the communities I serve. I look forward to helping you become a dynamic teacher and/or principal as we embark on this journey of learning together.
