Bio:
Hi All,
I'm a professor of English at LaGuardia Community College—City University of New York. Like my other colleagues at LaGuardia, I teach a little bit of everything from basic writing, composition, creative writing, to the capstone course in the Liberal Arts.
I have been part of LaGuardia’s dynamic ePortfolio team since 2002. At LaGuardia I also work with the college’s assessment committee, the college’s technology committee, the learning communities program, and the writing program, serving as its co-director from 2004-2010. I work closely with the Center for Teaching and Learning at LaGuardia, leading year-long professional development seminars, most recently on effective capstone courses.
For the past two years, I also participated in a national grant, the GSCC project, which was focused on improving pass rates in Basic Skills.
My critical and creative work has appeared in journals such as: Peer Review, Journal of Basic Writing, Computers & Composition, Women’s Studies Quarterly, The Minnesota Review, The Comstock Review, and A&U: America's AIDS Magazine.
I am the current co-chair of the Council on Basic Writing and am on the editorial boards of College Composition and Communication and BWe. I also serve as a reviewer for the International Journal of ePortfolio (iJEP).

Standard Set Answer:
I was very excited to receive the invitation to join the charrette earlier this summer. I'm excited to talk with colleagues from across the country about basic writing. I'm particularly interested in the question of what I call the "digital imperative": how we are carefully redefining writing to include writing with technology as a basic skill at every level of the college writing curriculum.
