I've taught 6th, 7th, and 8th grade English Language Arts for 5 years in charter, private, and traditional public schools. I've also taught Yearbook and Computer Programming electives.
Student-driven classroom as much as possible yet structured; constructivist, caring, inclusive. Use humor in the classroom as much as I can!

I have a baby boy and two kitties. In my free time(!) I enjoy playing percussion in community orchestras, reading, gardening and exercising.
