I have taught and been an administrator at SPC for 30 years in the communications and social and behavioral sciences departments. Along with teaching, I have served on many committees -- college-wide and on the Tarpon Springs and Clearwater campuses -- and from 2005-2008 I was Faculty Senate President. I have also accompanied and taught students on several study abroad programs.

From 2008-2011 I served as Academic Department Chair of Social and  Behavioral Sciences on the Clearwater Campus, where I also taught courses in political science and anthropology, and then as Director of Learning Resources until 2016. Currently, I am the Dean of Communications.

I hold B.A. and M.A. degrees in English from Florida State University, and a Ph.D. in Higher Education Administration from Barry University.

What I like most about what I do is helping students achieve their dreams. YOU are the reason I am here and I am grateful for the opportunity to help you in the classroom, on campus, in the department. 

What I hope will happen is student success will bloom like 10,000 hopes and dreams. Our students work so hard at school, work, and home and success is within reach. Let me know how I can help YOU.
