TEACHING EXPERIENCE

I am in my tenth year of teaching high school English in a public school setting.

MY TEACHING STYLE

Yet to be added

HONORS/AWARDS/SHINING TEACHER MOMENT

Yet to be added

MY OWN EDUCATIONAL HISTORY

I graduated magna cum laude in 2012, earning my Bachelor in Science Education degree in the field of English. I also have a journalism certification.

ADDITIONAL BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION

I recall too well how overwhelming and time-consuming it was to create instructional materials from scratch while juggling a thousand other beginning-of-career responsibilities. Now, with over a decade of teaching experience, more than 53,000 resources sold, and terrieresque determination, I am on a mission to help teachers maintain a healthier work-life balance by providing quality ELA materials with emphasis on close reading and creative writing skills. Let me help you save time at home without sacrificing academic rigor in the classroom.
