Experience

I've been teaching little ones for nine years across Alabama, Oregon, Texas, and DC, and I'm a PK4 teacher with a serious passion for early childhood education.

My work has been published in journals including English Journal, Contemporary Issues in Technology and Teacher Education, and Applied Psycholinguistics.
