As a professor of special education and literacy at
Washington State University Vancouver, I teach
courses applicable to K-12 educators in the Special Education Endorsement Program.
I also conduct research in: skills/strategies for struggling readers and writers, and response to intervention (an intervention/assessment process for classifying students with a learning disability).
I have taught in elementary/middle-schools for 11 years as well as at the university level since 2002. I am a member
of a number of professional organizations related to special education and literacy methods/research. Photography
is a personal interest along with hiking and cycling. To find out more, explore the contents and pictures of my
website (see tabs at top).
