Biography
With the exception of 10th grade, I have taught English in all grades, 6-12. I have almost twenty years of teaching experience in public school and elsewhere, and a desire to provide my students with the skills they need for success. I consider myself a life-long learner, and I believe that knowledge truly is power. I love to learn, to be challenged intellectually, and to share what I have learned with others. I also believe there are no shortcuts to achieve true success, whatever your goal. Hard work pays off.
