Hello! My strengths as an educator include my passion for teaching reading and writing, teaching close reading strategies and skills, and coaxing reluctant writers to tell me what they know! I encourage a variety of expressions in student's knowledge, and I love artistic and creative endeavors as well! I've also been a musician for almost 20 years, and love to bridge the gap between traditional writing and songwriting! I hope to hear from you soon.

Collecting vinyl, Reading books and graphic novels, playing guitar, and live music.
