What do you like most about teaching/working at Saint Michael's College? There is a general attitude of support, care and understanding that permeates the faculty and staff. This makes coming to work something I look forward to.

What do you like about Saint Michael's students? I find the bulk of Saint Michael's students to be genuinely caring individuals who have a tremendous willingness to volunteer and help others not necessarily as well off as themselves.

What is your favorite class to teach, and why? TH209, Stagecrafts. I've taught this class more than any other. It's an introduction to technical theatre that I began teaching as a graduate student. I enjoy the challenge of helping students from all over the college grasp the fundamentals of technical theatre.
