Welcome to my Class!

To put a face with a name, that's me in the picture, posing with my family: my partner, William, and our senior pup, Ollie. Ollie's what we lovingly call a pomchoodle - mostly chihuahua with a good dose of poodle and Pomeranian thrown in for good measure. I'm a big fan of animals, and dogs in particular. I've been known to host a puppy party just because (and if you've never been to a puppy party, I highly recommend it for the release of good chemicals in the brain). I began at RCC as a full-time professor of philosophy and humanities in Fall 2017. Before coming to RCC, I taught at a few other schools around the SoCal area as well as online -- primarily in the fields of philosophy and religious studies. I tend to organize my classes around discussion, textual analysis, and analytical reading - skills that translate to whatever contexts you'll find yourself in after leaving my class.
