Experience
19-year veteran teacher with 16 years specializing in English IV and 6 years in AP Language and Composition. AP Certified in both English Language & Composition and English Literature. I have authored district-level curriculum for English IV (Union County Public Schools).
Teaching style
My classroom operates through a mix of Socratic seminars, project-based learning, and intensive close-reading exercises, and as much writing as I can fit into a semester. I prioritize structured, printable frameworks that force students to move beyond surface-level observations toward sophisticated, independent analysis.
