"I'm a magna cum laude graduate of the University Toledo with a Bachelor of Science degree in Communication Disorders. Additionally I have a Master's Degree in Liberal Arts from Wright State University in Criminal Justice and a second Master's Degree in Behavioral Science and Psychology from Capella University.

I prefer that students practice or demonstrate their knowledge of what they have learned in front of me so that I can feel confident the student has an understanding of the material.
