7-12 English and Music teacher for 13 years in Philadelphia.
The classroom is organic and fluid and I'm not afraid to go off script or change it on the fly. I try to meet each student where they are at and push them to excellence. Nothing gets me more excited as a teacher then when a student surprises themselves with their creativity—especially when we work together to uncover it.

I wrote a novel. It was published. Some people bought it, and some of those people liked it enough that I decided to write another one. I am certifiably insane...for Poe. My English classroom is a blend of Poe and Potter. Ravenclaw is the house where we meet.
