About the store

I have been teaching for over ten years now--from private schools abroad to all-boys charter schools and GT programs in the States, I've been lucky enough to teach a wide range of students from diverse backgrounds. I've taught everything from 7th grade to university. While others may find it overwhelming or boring, I've always loved the curriculum development part of teaching. I love to see how I can make sure the kids are engaged, learning, and challenged.

Experience

Teaching style

I am passionate about what I do and try to bring that passion into the classroom. I really want students to be engaged and challenged, but most of all, I want them to step outside their box and comfort zone. I value diversity and I try to act as I preach and bring diversity into the classroom--through literature, through learning styles, and through my approach. I want students to see perspectives beyond theirs and to learn empathy through the stories of others.

2020 Outstanding Colorado Educator

My own education history

My parents were in the Army, so I moved around a lot as a kid, which meant moving schools pretty often. It's hard to stay consistent in your learning when you don't go to the same school for more than two years at most. But, luckily, I found a love of learning through reading. I attended East Carolina University for undergraduate and graduate school. I have a BS in English Education and a MA in English. I have a license for 7-12 ELA, as well as a license as a Gifted and Talented Specialist.
