I am an 8th year Language Arts teacher, on a great adventure in the public school setting. I am teaching wonderful 9th grade students at Licking Heights High School. I have taught 7th, 8th, and 9th grades in an inner city charter school, 8th grade in a rural public school, and 8th and 9th grade in my current suburban/rural public school.
I am a very engaged and interactive educator. My personal belief is that every student can succeed if he or she is given the resources and support necessary. I enjoy hands on, project based learning!
Graduated college with Cume Laude honors
Bowling Green State University-Bachelor's degree in AYA ILA (7-12) Master's of Education in Curriculum and Instruction
I am a very enthusiastic, motivated, and creative individual. I feel it is my responsibility to make lessons that are engaging and unique; lessons that provide innovative opportunities for students to engage in Literature and Writing!
