About the author
Hi. You can call me the Prolific Professor. I have been teaching undergraduate college students for nearly 15 years. I have experience teaching online, and in-person. I have a graduate degree. Beyond teaching, I spent years in the professional world (outside education) working. I have since found my passion for education and I built this website with that in mind. I want current college students to have as much information as possible to succeed in their academic career.
