I am also the National Honor Society Advisor, National English Honor Society Advisor, and Student Council Advisor. I also continue offering SAT and ACT courses.

I was also previously the College Counselor, where I single-handedly created a college counseling program for students starting as young as 8th grade.
I do a lot of cross-curricular studies but I also like to keep things fun and upbeat when I can. Since I mainly teach upper school students who are preparing for College, most of my materials are in-depth and challenging. However, I do have things I made for younger grades as well.
I have earned coach of the year for the last two years (2022 and 2023) and my girls team was a runner up in the league and my boys team have clinched first seed and won the league two years in a row (2022 and 2023) I am an AP English Language reader for College Board. I have been recognized as a leader in educational change.
