Biography
I believe that teaching is an exciting process of rejuvenation and participation in the educational lives of students. It is perhaps the most important task of a faculty member, but it is one of the most difficult. Teaching is not merely something that teachers do for students; it is also a process of inquiry that teachers share with students. I believe that research informs a teacher's classroom activities. As such, it is important and necessary for a teacher to remain actively engaged in research and to share the process and product of that research with students.
