Aside from my work as a Life Coach, I teach as a College Professor. I have been teaching for over ten years and it has been great preparation for my work with clients- teaching me to become a better speaker, teacher, and to listen to and learn from those around me.

 My work as a Professor aligns with my higher purpose and allows me to support others on their paths to greater success. No matter what the subject, I am always teaching from a place of Love. Love can change us, our beliefs, and our entire society and world.

I especially love teaching a wide variety of students in the Introduction to Sociology course, and developing and teaching interesting courses on topics such as Deviance: Sex, Drugs, and Rock & Roll. In my career, I've built 19 different course topics (and counting) for 21 various colleges and universities. I teach both in person and online, and am always open to new, creative opportunities.

I have written two book available through publisher Kendall Hunt.

My first book is The World is Our Lab.

My second book is Peace, Love, & Sociology.

My 3rd book, Culturally Created Criminals: An Introduction to Criminology, will be out Spring 2023.
