As a College of the Canyons alumna (go class of 2005!), my life came full circle when I got hired in 2017 to teach the classes that set me on the path to becoming a writer and educator. I have been teaching Composition and Creative Writing courses since 2007-first at the University of Arkansas while I earned my MFA in Poetry, then at Northwest Arkansas Community College. It's a joy to share with students what I've learned along the way.
