This is my 16th year as full-time professor at APU, where I have taught 18 different courses for Advanced Studies, Teacher Education, Special Education, School Counseling, and the Masters of Arts in Global Leadership. Over the past 12 summers, I have taught graduate courses for APU in Uganda, Ethiopia, Kenya, Ghana, Lithuania, Papua New Guinea, Brazil, Chile, the Philippines, Ukraine, Switzerland, Haiti, Kazakhstan and Alaska. The course I enjoy the best is typically the one I am currently teaching—with special affinity to Advanced Educational Psychology and Capstone Research. My passion is to mentor MA students toward becoming collaborative, empathic, transdisciplinary, teacher-researcher professionals; qualities essential to meeting the challenges of 21st century classrooms.
