“Authenticity in Branding and Marketing”—A Course in Critical Thinking and Writing

I’m a proud instructor at UMass Boston, one of the most diverse college campuses in New England.

My course is designed for first-year students who seek foundational support in critical thinking and writing. It’s a privilege to work with these students, and an enjoyable (sometimes entertaining) experience to read their writing.

"I really enjoyed your course and you’re an awesome professor who makes me think critically about everything. Probably maybe for the first time. Thank you for creating assignments and teaching classes that make me understand myself and who I am more."

—Former student, 2025
"I was very scared and frightened by the content and classes I had to take since I am a first gen college student and don't have anyone to rely on or ask for help. Your passion and hard work was so amazing to see and I really valued how much you care about your students learning the material.”
