problem solving, public speaking, interactive lectures, critical
thinking, writing/ reading across the curriculum, service learning,
“quick thinks,” open space technology, and multimedia web-based
instruction. I have presented and published locally, nationally
and internationally and received numerous awards, certificates
and grants.
