I have enjoyed teaching with Lake Michigan College as an Adjunct Instructor since 2013. During the day, I work as a Technical Communications Specialist for a locally-owned company, and I also teach as an Adjunct Instructor at another college in the area. In my "free time", I am an active mother of two and enjoy spending time with my children.
