Judith  Crozier

I am originally from a suburb of Cleveland, Ohio, (go Browns!) but I lived in NYC and Wyoming before moving to Los Angeles to attend University of Southern California for graduate school.  It was in Wyoming at the University of Wyoming where I finally received my bachelors degree, titled Scriptwriting and Producing.  My degree was one of the first self-designed degrees, I created my own curriculum with a team of advisors. From USC I have a Masters in Professional Writing (MPW), which is a multi-disciplinary creative writing degree. I have a double major masters and my concentration was in screenwriting and fiction with an emphasis in playwriting.  I also have a certificate in Postsecondary Reading and Learning from California State University, Fullerton.  But before all of that I started and stopped out of college, a lot. I took some Gen Ed classes at Cleveland State University (a years worth).  I have also taken classes at Hunter College (NYC), and from Brooklyn College where I earned a certificate as EMT (Emergency Medical Technician).  From Parsons School of Design, I took a class in hand-tinting photographs.  I also took classes at New School of Social Research.  I was accepted into the prestigious New York University, Intensive Film Production Workshop and made the mistake of opting out of college credit for those classes (super expensive).  I also have taken some journalism classes and more film and editing courses at UCLA Extension.  And most recently I have taken some literature courses at Fresno.

I have taught at Compton College since 2008 and have been full time here since 2014.  I have also taught at El Camino College, Cerritos College, and the University of Montana, Helena College.

I teach both online and on-ground.  I have been teaching online for over a decade.  I also love taking classes online (life-long learner).  I am certified to teach online through Etudes, Moodle, Desire2Learn, Blackboard, and now Canvas.
