My educational background includes several degrees in education and religion.

I taught school for eight years. After getting a Master's degree, I worked with graduate students  and scientists from over a hundred countries for more than twenty-five years.  My primary purposes were to help students adjust to a new culture, teach English as a second language and provide practical help. I also recently worked with immigrants. These experiences helped me develop a strong interest in religions around the world.

I am fascinated by the course materials and enjoy teaching, I believe that anyone who puts forth a reasonable amount of effort will learn and do well in class.
