Ellen's Teaching Philosophy:
I believe that education is a journey that both student and instructor take together! The real value of education is understanding the pure joy of learning and discovery as a life-long process.
Clarke's Impact on Ellen:
Clarke has provided me the opportunity to develop and grow in ways that I didn't even existed. I will be ever grateful for the personal and educational dimensions! I have made so many true friends and strong colleagues that are invaluable.
Ellen's Impact on Students:
I hope I have helped students discover their individual potential. I believe each student has many gifts-some simply need the confidence to discover those gifts and the desire to pursue them. I try to assist in this journey.
Why students should choose Clarke:
Students should choose Clarke if they are looking for a family environment, one in which the atmosphere is caring and supportive. The faculty/staff are excellent in their areas of expertise and willing to help on many different levels-personally, educationally, professionally. Clarke is a very special place...the bonds between people are strong and long-lasting.
Ellen's Extracurricular Activities:
I have varied interests outside my chosen field...a few include: photography, film history, landscaping, gardening, and various animal charities.
What Ellen enjoys about Dubuque:
I love Dubuque! I am from Memphis Tennessee, a big sprawling city with all of the problems associated with urban areas. Dubuque has the charm of a smaller town but the vision of a larger metropolitan area. It is the best of both worlds.
What Ellen enjoys about Clarke's campus:
Our campus is beautiful....we have many "green" spaces where students and faculty can go for an occasional outdoor class or walk.
Ellen's Favorites:
This list is far too great to choose just one.....I love good movies and good books. The problem is finding the time to indulge in these activities!
