Hello, dear readers!
May this image of my cat help you feel cozy while browsing this webpage!
What's with the Website?
This website serves as a space for my discoveries about writing and teaching composition courses. Here, I will share my thoughts on various readings and scholarship within the field of composition studies, I will upload writings and blog posts, and I will post any helpful resources I come across. All of this will be done, of course, as I attempt to connect my desire to instruct with my creative writing background!
What's with All the Bugs?
You'll find a lot of crawly critters all over my webpage! Most of these buggy little images were taken by me and my husband., and now I've chosen to display them here along with my writing and teaching insights. This isn't just because I love insects (which I do), and it also isn't because I want to scare you (which I don't). Insects are small creatures that still manage to have a great impact on their environments. If you check out my "About Me" page or my "Teaching Philosophy" page, dear reader, then you will find that these powerful little beings relate back to thematic elements in my own writings and my own teaching goals. Small beings, small things, and small moments matter in life and in writing education.
I hope you'll have fun exploring this page! Happy reading (and writing)!
