Dr. Kathy Nixon

English Instructor

Raised as an Army “brat,” I love to travel. Look for me in locations that are off the beaten track as well as popular destinations such as London. One of my travel jokes is that I speak fluent British. Maybe that’s why I’m an English teacher. LOL! I’ve been to 89 countries—many of them more than once. Travel, just like studying English, opens up opportunities to think critically and expose yourself to cultures, people and ideas that may not be the same as your own.

CREDENTIALS
I earned my Ph.D. in English at the University of Virginia.
