Currently lecturing for the English Department and have worked for the Intensive English Learning Program
(IELP). I also work for Medical Practice Consultants (MPC), downtown Fargo. MPC analyzes revenue streams,
improves operational efficiencies and increases revenues and reimbursements for medical practices…in a
nutshell.
Currently Teaching:
English 110
Other Academic interests:
Reading everything possible on healthcare and keeping current on the pedagogy of Critical Thinking; helping
students make a mark on the world instead of the world making a mark on them. It's always better to punch
than to get punched…..is what I always say.
Writing articles in the community for the Humane Society and the Homebuilders Association.
Past Areas of Interest:
Creative Writing and the influence Pragmatism has in story development. I also used to be interested in
how public policy was passed through Congress. Not anymore. Boring! However, I still enjoy watching
Republicans and Democrats made fun of on The Daily Show. Good times!
