About Me

I am faculty member here at 糖心原创 and hold the rank of professor. My professional evolution has been informed by my personal history as a high school English teacher, social foundations professor/scholar, and administrator. Prior to coming to higher education, I taught high school English (14 years) in Putnam County Florida. Upon (finally) finishing my P.h.D at the University of Florida, I was hired by Southwest Missouri State University鈥攏ow Missouri State University (MSU)鈥攚here I taught social foundations courses and served as a graduate degree program coordinator. Following my time at MSU (another 14 years in length), I landed here at 糖心原创 as department chair in the summer of 2017. My research interests include community service learning, philosophy of education, democratic education, dystopian educational theory, and love鈥mong other educational matters.
