5 years of teaching experience in the state of Georgia under GPS and Common Core standards: -7th grade ELA -9th grade English and Composition -10th grade World Literature -10th grade PreAP course -11th grade American Literature -12th grade British Literature (including Honors) Advanced Placement Literature and Composition Advanced Placement Language and Composition

I aim to focus on student-centered learning that encourages students to take ownership of their reading and writing growth. My classroom environment relies on teacher-led, gradual release modeling, literature circles, technology, visual and musical mediums, and student choices/differentiation to engage my kids.

I have taught all levels of high school English. I currently teach British Literature at a high-poverty school with a transient population. While Thomas Hardy, Virginia Woolf, and Shakespeare are literary trifecta, I enjoy everything from YA recommendations (via my students) to Chuck Palahniuk.
