My Teaching, Scholarship, and Leadership
My Music
- I have spent 22 years in the classroom working with undergraduate, masters-level, and doctoral students.
- In addition to teaching all levels of music history, plus undergraduate and masters-level courses in film music, world music, and music theory, I have taught hundreds of students how to develop resumes, write cover letters, interview, and prepare professional marketing materials.
- My scholarship has been published in journals and by leading academic publishers, and I have presented papers at over forty academic conferences around the world.
- I regularly review scholarly books and serve as a peer reviewer for book proposals and journal articles.
- As an academic leader, I thrive on developing new programs and new approaches to marketing, and I am not afraid to get into the trenches and work on the small details.
- I continue to develop new skills and master new tools and software to enhance my effectiveness as a leader, colleague, scholar, and content provider.
- I am an effective writer and appreciate the importance of social media communications and marketing.
