Prior to my teaching experience (I've been teaching for about 16 years now) I was an editor and writer in the journalism field. This has helped me bring some extra insight into the classroom. I taught in elementary and switched to middle school. Now I also taught a remedial writing course at the community college. I currently teach 12th grade English and Creative Writing.
Casual, comfortable, I don't want the students to be afraid of me. Socratic method . . lots of questions and answers.

I also have two kids and a cat.
