What's My Why?

Through my 20+ years of teaching at Salve, I have learned that the most important “project” of our students is identity exploration. It is a process that involves becoming more self-aware while sorting through the past and planning for the future. For both better and worse, relationships are usually the central element on which quality of life rests and my courses often focus on better understanding and enhancing those relationships. My greatest professional satisfaction comes from helping students develop a clearer understanding of their history, tendencies and aspirations as they navigate a technologically-infused culture that presents both perils and opportunities.
