Hello! I'm currently an AP US Government teacher and a district (k-12) literacy coach. I have 13 years of teaching experience at the secondary level and PLENTY more working with kids of all ages. Curriculum development is my passion! I have years of experience working one-on-one and in group settings with fellow educators to create curriculum that supports students in all areas.

Teaching style

I try to make things relevant and obvious! My teaching style involves a combination of direct and inquiry based instruction methods that include embedded academic language supports. Clarity and focus are key. I believe in stripping away the unnecessary in order to make sure my students leave my class actually KNOWING important information and being able express that understanding in an educated way.
