I earned my bachelor’s degree in Communication at Truman State University. From there I received a master’s degree in Communication at Indiana State University. I started at ETSU in 2000. I love the area and the amazing people I meet at ETSU keeps me here. When I am not in the classroom, I serve as the Debate Coach for the ETSU Speech and Debate Team.
