About Me
About Me
Bio
With a B.A. in English and a Masters in English Education, I have taught for over 30 years, most of which have been at a boys school where I served as head of the English Department for 15 years. Currently I teach freshmen and AP English Lit and Comp to seniors; however, I've taught every grade from 7-12.
During school breaks, I enjoy traveling, and I've been to five continents. My favorite trips have been to New Zealand and China.
Interests
My interests include travel, computers, writing, needlework, golden retrievers, crossword and jigsaw puzzles, baseball, and cooking.
