TEACHING EXPERIENCE

I started teaching 8th Grade Language Arts in 2012-2013. I taught 8th grade ELA for 10 years, and am now a Pre-AP English 10 teacher.

MY TEACHING STYLE

I'm a pop-culture-centric, joke-telling, attention-grabbing, problem-posing, test-conquering, learning facilitator.

HONORS/AWARDS/SHINING TEACHER MOMENT

I consider it an honor that over 10s of thousands of educators have used my resources!

MY OWN EDUCATIONAL HISTORY

I have a BA in English-Creative Writing and a BA in English Teaching. I also studied comedic performance and writing at the world renowned Second City in Chicago, Illinois. I also have a Master's in Instructional Design. Studying improvisation and comedy has molded me into the educator I am today!
