I have been an English teacher for 12 years, and my favorite books to teach include: To Kill a Mockingbird, The Hunger Games, The Perks of Being a Wallflower, The Book Thief, Speak, and The Kite Runner. I LOVE talking to my students about their favorite books, and my current favorite author is Sarah J. Maas.

Outside of school, I enjoy spending time with my friends, family, and furbabies. Whenever I take Gatsby and Poppy for walks, they get super excited because they know they get to ride in the car. They often "compete" for the front seat. My oldest furbaby, Scout, is getting used to her newest kitty sibling, Lucien. Fun fact about Lucien: he was found underneath Mrs. G's deck, and I adopted him!

Once COVID is over and travel restrictions are lifted, I can't wait to travel! I'm looking forward to going back to California and England to visit friends.
