Professor of Business: I have taught business, career management, and communication topics at colleges and universities in Southern California since 1975. During the 1980s and 1990s, as a consultant and trainer for business and industry, I worked throughout the U.S. Moorpark college has been my teaching home since 1988.

Online Instructor: Online teaching is a  large part of college and university programs throughout the U.S. In September 2000 I completed UCLA’s certificate program in online teaching. The curriculum consisted of six 4-unit online classes in the basic technologies, internet/online tools, learning theories, curriculum development, and assessment of student success.

Newsletter editor: I edited several well-received newsletters for professionals in human resources and training during my career in training and consulting. Along with teaching, writing has been one of my passions since graduating from Denver University with a B.A. in Journalism.
