I can bring my understanding of the legal and business aspects of the sports industry to my writing, which has made me a respected voice in the field.

College Degrees

I hold a Bachelor of English as an undergraduate degree and an MA in English from Irvine Valley College as a graduate degree. An MA in English is a good choice for students interested in pursuing a career in academia and those who want to develop advanced skills in critical thinking, research, and communication. Graduates of an MA in English program may become professors and researchers or work in publishing, journalism, or public relations.

Additionally, I have audited various literature courses from prestigious institutions, including my alma mater.

Handling Corporate Sessions

I spent approximately a decade in finance and held junior and senior corporate positions. During this time, I was responsible for taking soft skills classes for companies such as General Motors. The HR department at GM had 83 full-time employees. My challenges as a corporate trainer helped me improve my communication skills. I am thankful for the diverse experiences I gained while working in the corporate world.

Teaching English Literature

I started teaching in local colleges when I was in college and still do so today. My favorite place to teach is a Sunday school class, community group, or small group.

My first teaching experience outside the college was with the English Language Testing Society. Through IFA, I taught Banking, Finance and Insurance courses to Business school teachers needing continuing education credits.

College Professor

While working, I began teaching as an adjunct professor at a local language college. This experience led me to teach at a language school as an adjunct professor. I eventually became an administrator at the same school. I have taught nearly 30 undergraduate courses like Creative Writing, Advanced Grammar and Composition, Linguistics, and Literature. My favorite classes to teach include:

1. Grammar: Including parts of speech, sentence structure, and punctuation.
2. Vocabulary: Including word forms, meanings, and usage in context.
3. Reading: Including comprehension, critical thinking, and analysis.
4. Writing: Including composition, organization, and style.
5. Listening and Speaking: Including pronunciation, intonation, and conversation skills.
6. Literature: Including study and analysis of various texts and authors, including poetry, drama, and fiction.

Academic and Learned Societies

Professional organizations that specialize in advancing the study and teaching of subjects related to the English language arts, such as grammar, literature, vocabulary, reading, and writing, as well as those that focus on specific fields such as law, academics, and linguistics, exist to support and enhance the knowledge and expertise of their members.

These societies, composed of educators, scholars, researchers, and other interested individuals, engage in activities designed to promote and sustain interest and progress in their field. These activities include publishing academic papers, attending conferences and workshops, collaborating with peers and colleagues, and sharing research and best practices.

As a member of these societies, I have access to many resources, networking opportunities, and professional development opportunities that help me stay current and informed in my field.
