Welcome to my information!
I am visiting in the English department at Alma College for the 2012-2013 academic year, and could not be more excited!
Though primarily a creative writer, I am lucky enough to teach composition courses this year. Composition courses are an amazing opportunity to welcome new students into the academic world of writing. In this way, I hope my students can begin to understand and enjoy college writing instead of feeling confused and frightened by it.
