A ninja's work is never done. After teaching and serving in higher education for three years, I decided to further my education to become a sharper writing teacher. Becoming a student again has strongly influenced my teaching pedagogy, and I look forward to the day I can return to the classroom with enhanced ninja teaching skills.
