  I provide adult education experiences in communication

  public relations

  and related strategies

  such as meeting management. I also consult as a freelance editor for textbooks and other technical communication. As an online educator

  I seek unique and tested strategies for teaching online

  with the goal of enhancing the learning experience while increasing student interaction efficiency. \n\nFor the past 18 months

  I've been the director of UW-Platteville's Teaching & Learning Center. We offer training on andragogy (teaching strategies for adults) in a variety of formats. Our sessions are face-to-face

  online (via Desire2Learn)

  and via our Web site. We research teaching practices

  provide sessions that highlight what our faculty members are doing in the classroom

  and offer one-on-one consultations upon request. My background in training and development has been very useful. What I wasn't expecting through this new opportunity was how much my own teaching would be revitalized and improved. \n\nSpecialties: Adult education

  grant writing

  fund raising

  volunteer recruitment & management

  public relations strategies
