About me
Hello Everyone! Welcome to my classroom! 2021-2022 will be my 10th year teaching (second year at Argyle High School). I'm super excited for the coming year as we return to some sense of normalcy.
Born and raised in Philadelphia, I have lived and worked in Boston, Atlanta, Los Angeles, and Tulsa, before settling in the great state of Texas. I've been in the DFW area for over 11 years now, and I still melt every July and August. In addition to being a Yankee, I was born and raised Jewish. While I no longer practice, I do tend to give a fresh perspective to everything, and hopefully make the educational process more fun.
Whether you are taking English II, Journalism or Advanced Journalism (The Talon), my goal is to make each and every one of you excellent writers.
