TEACHING EXPERIENCE

I am an English teacher in the state of Michigan, and I am in my eighteenth year in the classroom. I have taught grades 8-12, included Advanced Placement English Literature, and Advanced Placement Composition Courses. I currently serve as the English Department Chairperson.

MY TEACHING STYLE

My favorite things about teaching English include: British Literature, Transcendentalist authors such as Thoreau and Emerson, Modernist authors such as Hemingway and Steinbeck, teaching Advanced-Placement (AP) English courses, and of course, Shakespeare. My true passion lies in teaching college-level courses, and secondary English Literature to high school upperclassmen.

HONORS/AWARDS/SHINING TEACHER MOMENT

The Saginaw News named me a finalist for their "Diamond Award" in teaching in 2008. I have also been professionally published with the University of Kansas two times.

MY OWN EDUCATIONAL HISTORY

I am a proud graduate of Grand Valley State University (Bachelor of Arts/BA- History/English), and a 2012 honors graduate of Michigan State University (Master of Arts in Education/MAEd.- English Literacy/Educational Technology). I was also an opinion and editorial writer for The State News - the largest college newspaper in the nation.

ADDITIONAL BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION

When I am not teaching, I am probably fostering one of my many obsessions with nature. I am an avid wilderness photographer, bow-hunter, fly-fisher, backpacker, snow-shoer, gardener, and canoeing enthusiast. I am absolutely in love with the state of Michigan, and I am constantly finding new things to enjoy about the outdoors. I am a frequent visitor to Michigan's Upper Peninsula and I especially enjoy the south shore of Lake Superior.
