I enjoy working with my students and learning together. I help students gain confidence in their writing skills and their own ideas. I have lived in Sweden, Hungary, and China, and visited many countries. I love to read, hike, eat, sleep, cook, learn new things, and keep learning about nutrition, and how eating plants reduces animal cruelty, climate change, and human disease. I enjoy following the science demonstrating the amazing joy, health, and healing from eating only plants. I don’t trust AI.

The theme of my English 101 class: Writing is a skill we practice -- I am not here to judge your writing skill -- I am here to coach your writing practice. AI cannot help you with this class. You will practice writing to think, to explain your thoughts, and to find and use your writing voice. Think about your readers. Write and think about the forces that shaped the "rules" that judge "good" and "bad" writing in society today. Write about what is helping you learn to write.
