I've been teaching for 13 years, spending most of it in upper elementary and middle school.
Teaching is my passion. I'm big on getting to know my students as individuals and finding different ways to connect with them. As a teacher author, I love providing high quality movie guides that allow teachers a "grab n' go" resource to connect with in class lessons, for a sub, or for a change of pace.
