I am a current student in the Master of Arts for the Teaching of English program at Stony Brook University. This is my last semester before I student teach in the Spring. I also work full time doing finance. This semester is a crazy one, with five classes, work, and student observations; but I'm doing what I love.  This web-page is a project for our Methods class, Performance and Technology in the classroom. I am not extremely computer savvy, so I am trying my best. Hope you enjoy it!!
