My position here at Azusa Pacific University
I am a Curriculum Specialist in the Center for Accelerated Degree Programs. I'm responsible for keeping materials for the Human Development, Christian Leadership, and Nursing degree completion programs up-to-date and presentable. I also regularly teach in the MLOS program, and occasionally teach in the BSOL program. I joined APU's faculty in 1982, and taught in the Department of Communication Studies until 2000, when I joined the Center for Adult and Professional Studies.
