I have been fortunate to have had several careers, and jobs within those careers: Shakespearean actor, operations manager, applied ethnographic researcher, college course designer, and academic senator. Communication and working in a cohort have always been the most rewarding experiences.

To be Part of the Human diversity team
In my book Cultivating Human: How Evolution, Diversity, and Communication Uniquely Shaped Humanity, I outline the importance of diversity in the overall progress of human civilization. It was with incredible joy I received my own DNA results and feel so included in the great struggle in America of the oppressed and the oppressor. I am overjoyed by the inclusion. Let’s find out more about our respective strengths!

Thank you for being an instructor in the OLLI@SSU winter 2021 program. Your course, The Story of Human Communication, was greatly received by our students. In fact, we had students in your class that have been taking OLLI courses for years and they said your class was literally one of the best classes they had ever taken. We love to hear compliments like that and share with our instructors.
