Teacher Stories: Finding the Positive in Life’s Struggles

MAY 2022 — I started teaching at Kean right in the middle of the pandemic. I have to admit, it was a steep learning curve, as public speaking is a challenge to teach virtually. Also, a lot of compassion was needed as a teacher, as there were a lot of students that got sick, or students that had family members that were sick. But I think they still learned a lot and honed in on their skills. Now I am in my third semester, and the university asked me to launch a new course that has never been done there before, called Branding and Message Development, which I am so excited about.
