Distant Education Instructor Certification

College of the Desert Hyflex Course Design Certification

Hi!  I am a local community college instructor, who teaches English, literature and creative writing.  I write horror fiction in my spare time and have published two novels.  When I'm not teaching, writing or reading, I'm watching movies.  I am partial to horror, comedy, British melodramas and documentaries.  A job at Netflix would allow me to indulge in two of my favorite pastimes: composition and film.

I have a Master of Science in Writing with an emphasis in book publishing degree.  I completed my program in eight months.
