Introduction
I teach language skills and literature classes at Soochow University in Taipei, Taiwan. I enjoy my work most when students are actively involved, asking questions of themselves and of me. I appreciate students who work at finding ways to practically apply what they learn. Professionally, I'm interested in narrative theory, youth literature, second language learning, rhetoric, and various ways in which the disciplines of English intersect.
