Background

About Paul Riser

Educator, Researcher, Advocate With more than a decade steeped in the dynamic world of Education, I have worn many hats—High School Teacher, Department Chair, Curriculum Writer, School Administrator, Lead Legal Code Compliance Officer for a major school district, and most recently, a Lecturer in Higher Education. My journey thus far, I hope, can be seen as a testament to my commitment to fostering a love for learning, not just as an academic pursuit but as a way to explore the intricacies of human emotions, nature, and societal structures. Expertise in English Language Arts My highest proficiency lies in English Language Arts, with a focus on canonical English and Spanish literature. Receiving an hono(u)rable mention are my skills in copy-editing, Discourse Analysis, and educational research as it's related to identity work. These skills not only highlight my dedication to academic rigo(u)r but also embody my lyrical, philosophical approach to writing. Diverse Professional Experience My professional arc extends beyond the educational sphere. I have ventured into the government sector as a language analyst and have even showcased my artistic flair as a backup dancer for a record label. These varied experiences have enriched my perspective, allowing me to approach challenges with a multidimensional lens. Advocate for the Marginalised At the heart of my work lies a resolute commitment to advocating for people who are often marginalized. I strive to leverage opportunities for everyone by extending support wherever possible, underscoring the ethos that education should be an empowering and inclusive experience. Personal Loves When I'm not engrossed in academic or advocacy work, I indulge my soul with poetry and my body with avocados and a hearty serving of Tex-Mex cuisine.
