I have been teaching English at Brookside (and some years, science as well!) since 2007. I teach both regular ELA curriculum as well as a course of Honors. My classes also work closely with the intervention specialist. I have a passion for reading and writing and can't wait to share it with your child. I have two children, Cassidy (30), and Jeremy (27), and my fur baby is my cat Arya. I love reading, Harry Potter, Star Wars, and all types of popular culture. When I want to really relax I love watching television. I also love to travel and have visited several different countries including Mexico, England, and France.
Every year I work to improve upon my lessons from the previous year. Every year is an interesting new challenge, but I feel confident in my ability to retain the elements of fun that have helped my students learn and grow in previous years. All I ask of you at home is to be positive and encouraging to your student.
I am excited to teach your child and share my love of reading and writing!
