I now serve as Professor and Director of the University Writing Program in the Klein Family School of Communications Design at the University of Baltimore. Previously, I directed the Writing Center at the University of Kansas. As Associate Professor, I taught in the Linguistics Department at California State University, Fresno and as Assistant Professor in the English Department at East Carolina University. At UB, I teach CWPA 761 (Teaching Writing) and courses in the Writing Program. My research interests are academic writing, second language writing, and writing center studies. I have published articles in Assessing Writing, Journal of College Reading and Learning, Journal of Second Language Writing, and the Writing Center Journal, among others. The second edition of my book, Researching the Writing Center: Towards an Evidence-Based Practice (co-authored with Rebecca Babcock) appeared in January 2018.
