I received my Bachelor’s degree in English from California State University Fresno and my Master’s and Ph.D. from Indiana University. My education and interests have been consistently interdisciplinary. For instance, my dissertation committee consisted of an Art History Professor, a Philosophy Professor, and two English Professors. I have taught a wide range of courses at Indiana University and Peninsula College including Introduction to Philosophy, Composition, Ethics, Dramatic Literature, Critical Thinking, Logic, Creative Writing, American Literature, Ancient World Literature, Shakespeare, and more. Similarly, I have written on a wide range of subjects and a variety of genres including essays, plays, and novels. When not reading and writing I spend much of my time in the garden with my chickens.
