I have been teaching high school English for 15 years at Hampton Township High School, a Blue Ribbon School in Western, PA. Before that, I taught in the city of Pittsburgh, North Carolina, and France. I also organize international learning experiences for students.
My philosophy is "if I'm bored they're bored," so I focus most of my instruction around enhancing student engagement. I primarily teach a traditional senior English Brit/World lit curriculum and work hard to make those older texts exciting and accessible to students. I also teach Creative Writing and Journalism, as writing is one of my truest passions.
