"We die. That may be the meaning of life. But we do language. That may be the measure of our lives."
Toni Morrison

Welcome! I currently teach freshman through junior English courses, WR 121 (a dual credit course with Portland State University), Creative Writing, and Books & Tea. Please see my "Course Offerings" page for more details.

In the classroom, I aim to promote curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking. I see myself as an experienced guide for students and encourage them to take responsibility for their learning. Becoming good readers and writers is an active and ongoing process, and my classroom is a place for students to take risks along the path of constructing meaning.
