About Me
Hello! I am your Instructional Designer. I am a native Californian and have been faculty at West Valley College since 2004. Previously at WVC, I taught reading both in-person and online and also served as a Faculty Supervisor for peer tutors in writing. As an instructional designer, the challenge of designing online courses draws on my formal training, and I enjoy the creative aspect of figuring out how to deeply engage learners. Something I love to do is dance, and in fact, a bucket list item of mine is to participate in a West Valley College flash mob! At home I have a husband who teaches Film/Theater at WVC (the other W. Clay), twin daughters in college, and a cat named Miso.
