COM 2020

In Spring 2022, I began teaching COM 2020: Introduction to Business Communication, offered by the Department of Communications Studies. This course, along with COM 3021, was designed to equip students with the communication skills needed for their professional careers and academic study in business-related majors.

I bring my diverse experience to the classroom as a result of working over 30 years in various roles, including arts administrator, operations manager, office manager, and administrative assistant. I enjoy teaching the range of written and oral communication techniques, such as email, memos, reports, and executive summaries. I also like sharing my experiences and insights with my students, including how technology has changed the landscape of professional business communications over the years, from typewritten memos to collaborative messaging apps.
