I spent seventeen years in the classroom, teaching ELA and humanities from grade level six to college-level composition, literature, and humanities courses. The majority of my career was spent in 11th, 12th, and college-level courses but also included positions in Educational Technology and Professional Development. I am currently a Director of Academics for a school. My passion is bringing creative and critical-thinking activities to classrooms.
