About the store

Experience

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.

My own education history

B.A. in English with Secondary Certification – The University of North Carolina at Greensboro AP Certified: English Language & Composition

Additional biographical information

I create resources for the professional educator who values precision over fluff. Every tool in this store has been field-tested through nearly two decades of instruction and curriculum development. If you are looking for no-nonsense, high-impact materials that are ready to print and implement, that's what I'm looking to make.
