"Dr. Hughes, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR HAVING A PERSON IN ONE OF THE GRAPHICS THAT USED "THEY/THEM" PRONOUNS. Though that is probably not the focus of your question, it did make me very happy to see that you included ALL types of humans into your graphics. The graphics themselves were cute and relevant and I love the personification of each character with each lesson."

Dr. Hughes cares, and cares actively, not just about successful teaching but about becoming an especially effective instructor in whatever academic context she finds herself. Â She has spent truly remarkable time and effort considering how the needs and expectations of students at our College are different from those at the other institutions where she has taught and how to best modify her practices to promote their success and attainment."

"I just want to say thank you for teaching me this semester. I never thought I would enjoy public speaking as much as I have this semester. This was the best public speaking class I have ever taken!"
Public Speaking Student
"Honestly, I don't know if there's anything you could do to make this course flow more smoothly during the semester. You communicated with the class on a weekly basis, you graded the speeches in a timely manner, and you gave us access to a FREE text book. You absolutely killed it this semester, and I have recommended many of my friends to take your class."

She can teach public speaking, interpersonal communications, and speaking for business environments. She can easily teach legal writing, writing for the humanities, writing for professionals, writing across disciplines, writing for the social sciences, writing fundamentals, and writing for special topics. She likes developing newclasses."

"Sunny’s parents knew what they were talking about when they named her Sunny Skye. She exudes sunshine and energy. She is a wonderful extravert who may never have met a stranger and makes everyone in a room with her comfortable. Sunny is an absolute pleasure to work with. You simply won’t hire anyone who will try harder and care more about her work. It would be hard to find anyone more skillful as a communicator."
