About Me: I grew up in SE Portland. I was always a pretty good kid, but I do remember getting in trouble at a young age for pressing too many typewriter keys at the same time and gumming up my Mom’s precious manual typewriter that way. I think I always knew that writing was my destiny! Now I have my happily ever after as an English Professor, and tapping away on a keyboard is an essential part of my job.

Take WR 122Z Spring 2026
Meaningful Writing!
In this section of WR 122 you will identify a controversy related your chosen academic major or career path, research it, and argue your own position. You will spend 10 weeks exploring a topic you are passionate about and write a polished research paper that you can use as a writing sample when you apply for a job, a four-year university, or graduate school.
My hope is that you will leave WR 122 with the tools necessary to participate in academic and professional discourse at PCC and beyond. Additionally, you will:
- See yourself as a lifelong student of reading, writing, and rhetoric
- See yourself as an active participant in larger conversations
- Transfer your learning to personal goals and larger initiatives that matter to you.
