Teaching
Currently in my 21st semester as a member of the teaching faculty in the Interactive Media program in the College of Media and Entertainment at Middle Tennessee State University, I’ve had the opportunity to leverage my professional expertise as well as my research interests and general curiosities in a wide variety of lecture and hands-on classroom course experiences. I take great pride in watching my students succeed!
