CollapseResponsibilities

I am presently the lead instructor for the advance journalism course -- Editors Course. Received a perfect rating for an instructor on a recent survey (not a common occurrence). Assisted several students with improving their publications, which led to service-wide awards. Recently submitted a proposal to merge two courses, which would save the government money, and at the same time, make students more proficient as public affairs practitioners.
