I first taught elementary education grades 2-6 over
five years in school districts in WI and MO. For four
years I served as a graduate assistant at UW Madison
and completed a doctoral degree in Curriculum with a
minor in Educational Issues and Policies. I served as
an Assistant Professor at U of MO Kansas City and at
Carroll College prior to joining the faculty at UW Oshkosh.
I have provided extensive service and leadership to
the College of Education and Human Services.
My current scholarship is devoted to writing poetry
that is being published by educational journals, most
recently by WSRA Journal (WI State Reading Association)
and WAMLE Journal (WI Association for Middle Level Education).
Additionally I read widely in preparation for graduate
teaching, chair the college Library Committee, and oversee
curriculum projects and action research projects undertaken
by my graduate students.
