      Sept 2016 - Apr 2022
      Adjunct Professor of Creative Writing

      I am currently teaching WR212: Introduction to Fiction Writing and WR 312: Intermediate Fiction Writing for the Creative Writing department at Portland State. Both are workshop based courses that strive to teach the fundamentals of writing through lecture and exploratory writing assignments. The goal of the both is to introduce the students to reading like a writer, thinking critically about their own work as well as their classmates', and being able to constructively share these thoughts in an open environment. The courses, with the subtitles of "Opening the Door," and "Digging Deeper," strive build on each other, to deflate the myth of the lonely writer to emphasize the social aspects of writing, communication, and idea development, as well as to hopefully empower the writer's desire to explore their own process.
