TEACHING EXPERIENCE

Over the course of my career, I have taught 9th-12th grade English, News Journalism, Round Table, and Leadership with students of all backgrounds. Currently, my specialty areas are English II (10th grade) and News Journalism.

MY TEACHING STYLE

I have a real passion for empowering students and establishing reflective practice; as an English teacher, I get swept up in the excitement of literature and critical thinking, and I try to encourage my students to do the same. I especially love incorporating discussion as I believe collaborative speaking and listening opportunities are the cornerstone of critical thought in the classroom. I am a very animated teacher, but I also know that my students need structure and appreciate clean design.

HONORS/AWARDS/SHINING TEACHER MOMENT

Teacher of the Year 2019-2020 school year; Local VFW Citizenship Education Teacher Award; "Best of" Award from local newspaper.

MY OWN EDUCATIONAL HISTORY

I attended a four-year college where I majored in English and obtained a secondary teaching license. Since then, I have participated in various professional development opportunities.
