Experience

I've been teaching since 2005. In that time, I've taught 6th, 7th, 8th, 10th, 11th, and 12th grade English. I currently teach AP Language and Composition to 11th graders and 12th grade English Electives!

Teaching style

A combination old school and new school: I'm constantly trying to "mix it up" to keep my classroom fresh and exciting for my students! A good day is a day when I set an activity in motion and the students work collaboratively to complete it!

Awards & shining teacher moments

I'm so proud to be an AP Reader!

My own education history

BA in English Education, minor in Sociology: SUNY Geneseo MS in English Education: Buffalo State College MS in Educational Practice: Centenary College

Additional biographical information

I'm a teacher-mom who enjoys reading, spending time with my family, and making my classroom a place my students actually want to spend time in. :D
