ÃÛÌÒTV Ricki
I teach College Prep Writing, Composition I and II, Creative Writing: Fiction and Nonfiction, Argument, and Research Writing. I love teaching writing nearly as much as I love writing.
I retired from my full-time position as Regional Title IX Investigator and Trainer for Riverland and three other colleges in southern MN at the end of May 2020. Teaching English as an adjunct is a great part of my retirement plan.
