Biography

My experience at Northland began in 2006-07, when I taught a full year at the East Grand Forks campus. I returned to graduate school after that year, and then re-joined Northland at the Thief River Falls campus in August 2012.

My other teaching experience includes being a Teaching Assistant and Graduate Instructor in my two graduate programs (Arizona State University and the University of Minnesota). While at the University of Minnesota, I also taught courses as an adjunct at MSU-Mankato, Metropolitan State University, and the Minneapolis College of Art & Design.
