Within the School of Communications I taught Introduction to Video, covering the basics of shooting, audio recording, lighting, and post-production for students in Film & Digital Media, Journalism, Advertising/PR, and Communications tracks.

In addition to teaching Video Art and Intro to Studio Art in the Deptartment of Art & Art History, I co-programmed a weekly screening series, managed the video production & post-production studios, coordinated visiting artists lectures and gallery shows, inaugurated a 48 Hour Challenge, and advised the student-run TV station.

As a visitor to the CADT department, I designed & initiated courses on Location Audio Recording & Post-Production, Technophobia in Cinema, and John Cassavetes & Independent Cinema. I also taught Introductory Video and Advanced 16mm Filmmaking, and worked with the freshman Living & Learning Community.
