Biography
Friendships with foreign
exchange students in high school in Watsonville,
California, led to a UC junior year abroad in
Lund, Sweden, and an eventual degree in
Scandinavian Languages and Literature, followed
by a degree in TESL. From 1982-1984 I was a
Fulbright lecturer at the University in Skopje,
Yugoslavia. Upon return to the US, I taught at
Bay Area community colleges, punctuated by a
summer at Harvard Summer ESL and a winter at the
United Nation's International Maritime
Organization's university in Malmö, Sweden.
I have been on the faculty at Skyline College
since 1990.
