Hi! My name is Dana. I'm currently teaching 10th and 11th grade ELA in the St. Louis, MO area. In my ten years of teaching, I've taught in 5 different schools (I like to move!
I'm not a regular teacher. I'm a cool teacher.

I love learning. I am currently deep in learning about self-development and the history of religious / spiritual practices. I am obsessed with learning how to simplify and essentialize in all areas of life so I can have more time to pet my cats and read all the books. My favorite unit to teach is Existentialism with The Truman Show.
