The 2023-2024 school year marks my 11th year of teaching and my 6th year at Pulaski. I am excited to be a part of the team that received certification to teach the 11th and 12th grade International Baccalaureate Diploma Program in 2018! Teaching Theory of Knowledge (TOK) is my favorite challenge. I also teach Creative Writing, and I am the ID DP CAS Coordinator and the Extended Essay Coordinator. Fun!

I am a "rockhounder," which means I hunt and collect fancy rocks. If you ask nicely I will show you my favorites!

I have a dog named Luna and a cat named Dobby.

I absolutely love teaching! Getting to know my students and helping them grow as people fills my heart and soul. I love watching my students' faces as something they learn "clicks" in their brain. I love helping everyone find a space where they belong.

Literature is my life. My current favorite author is Tana French, but my lifetime favorite book series is Harry Potter. I am a published poet and I am also writing a novel.
