Personal and Professional Assets
As an instructor, I enjoy the camaraderie of both my fellow teachers and the students with whom I work, respecting
both and considering them partners with me in learning. Considering myself a team player, I seek out advice and
knowledge from others in my field; I stay abreast of developments in the fields of Rhetoric and Composition and
Literature and Education by attending conferences and reading articles related to those fields. I am committed to
life-long learning.
