Master Of Arts in Communication Arts

Bachelor Of Science in communication arts

I have a deep love for the field of communication and understanding how and why we interact the way that we do, and love to interact with the public. I have an energetic and creative teaching and leadership style. I always have great student reviews, and I have had several past students tell me they not only enjoyed my course but have since applied the skills I taught them in their lives or careers. I have years of classroom management, lesson planning, advising, clerical, research, and writing experience. While my past experience has been limited to the fundamentals of communication course alone, please know that communication studies: persuasion, interpersonal communication, nonverbal communication, etc. is also my area of interest and the reason I chose this field of study. I have longed to teach these courses, but these courses are typically reserved for full time staff only so I have not yet had an opportunity to utilize them myself.
