Expertise

I`ve taught writing or some aspect of the English language for nearly 35 years. I can answer nearly any question on grammar, usage or meanings of words above dictionary usage. An avid crossword fan and writer, I can also answer questions about business presentations and resumes.

Experience in the area

I have worked with words all my life as a teacher of the language and as an amateur and professional writer. Communication is a vital force in my life and everyone else's.

Organizations

Sigma Delta Chi, NY Press Association, NY Publishers Association

Education/Credentials

BA in English from the University of Buffalo, MEd in English from SUNY Buffalo, MA in English Literature from SUNY Buffalo. Course work in Journalism from Syracuse Univ., in Linguistics from Rutgers Univ. and Journalism from Univ. of Texas and Ohio Univesrity.

Awards and Honors

Chancellor's Award for Excellence Teaching SUNY, Distinguished Teaching Award SUNY Morrisville, Who's Who in American Journalism Education

What do you like about this subject?

I like the fact that English is a vital language. It grows with usage and technology. It is a study you can never master, but work toward perfection.

What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?

I hope to ever increase both my written and spoken vocabulary. As an avid crossword puzzler, I am constantly looking up new words and working with the old ones.
