Experience

9th & 10th Grade English, Writer's Workshop, Foundational Skills Course and Former Special Education Teacher

Teaching style

As an English teacher who works with a diverse population, it is incredibly important to me to build relationships with students and parents. In class, I strive to create a welcoming environment for all students where we can have conversations and healthy debates, discussing life, literature and more. Most of my work is aimed towards preparing students for life and the NYS English Regents Exam.

My own education history

Dual certified English and Special Education Teacher

Additional biographical information

Teaching was my dream job from as long ago as I can remember. It started in my childhood bedroom teaching my stuffed animals and escalated to rearranging my furniture to as closely resemble a classroom as possible. Other kids begged their parents to go to the toy store, I begged mine to go to the teacher supply store. Needless to say, I have a passion for teaching and education. After my first year teaching, I realized the need to create materials that still kept with the standards but were more realistic, creative and engaging!
