Teaching Topics
Each session is grounded in practice which draws from years of leading online programs, designing quality courses, teaching both face to face and online, and partnering with faculty across disciplines and subject matter experts in industry.
Personal Branding and Digital Reputation Management
I teach this graduate course at UF CJC Online with a practical premise: a personal brand is not a logo, a tagline, or a polished LinkedIn headline. It is the pattern of expectations people build from what they can consistently see, verify, and experience about you online. Students examine professional positioning, credibility, audience, digital reputation, platform strategy, AI interpretation, communication choices, and long-term brand stewardship.
Ethics & Problems in Mass Communications
I teach this undergraduate course at UF College of Journalism & Communications. In Ethics and Problems in Mass Communication, I guide students in applying ethical frameworks to complex, real-world media decisions involving truth, fairness, privacy, representation, emerging technology, AI use, and professional responsibility.
