Work History


The following list includes the most recent full-time administrative and teaching positions I have held at Texas A&M University. I have also worked part-time for a international consulting firm, Leadership Development International (LDi), to help prepare experiential learning curricula and materials for use at the international campuses with which they have partnered. For more information about my work for LDi, please see Consulting. In addition I have edited many technical writing resources, including textbooks and teacher manuals. These editing projects keep me current on the latest topics, issues, and resources affecting technical writing curricula, and many of my suggestions have been incorporated (and credited) into the textbooks I have reviewed.
