My first teaching job was at U.C. Santa Barbara. Next, I worked as an Assistant Professor of Criminal Justice at Chapman University in Orange, California from 1991 to 1997. I also taught at the California Youth Authority in Whittier for three years, and worked part time at CSUF. From 2003 to 2005, I taught as a full-time lecturer at CSU Long Beach.
I have taught at California State University, Fullerton in various capacities (i.e. part-time lecturer, full-time lecturer and Assistant Professor since 2001). The academic year 2006-07 was my first as an Assistant Professor.
