Welcome Writers! I am looking forward to working with all of you during your 8th grade year at Beadle Middle School. As a teacher, my job is to help you grow as a writer, reader, speaker, and human. I believe firmly that learning should be enjoyable, imaginative, and thought-provoking. In high school, I fell in love with the world of literature after reading Henry David Thoreau's poetry. So, in the spirit of his work, my hope is that my students will feel empowered to follow his mantra: "Go confidently in the direction of your dreams! Live the life you've imagined."

A little about me: I am from Omaha, Nebraska and attended Millard schools my entire life (please don't throw tomatoes at me for going to Kiewit). After high school, I attended the University of Nebraska-Lincoln where I worked for the George Eliot Archive (check out the website!) and several other digital research jobs. In my free time, I enjoy reading, writing, baking, and watching terrible reality tv shows. 

I am looking forward to this year and can't wait to meet everyone! Please reach out with any questions or concerns.
