Hobbies

I love teaching. I have taught at my current school since 2013, and before that, I had experience as a special education aide, an ESL teacher, and a writing tutor and writing fellow. I get great joy from working with people and helping them reach that "a-ha" moment when information clicks. My personality is calm, patient, and understand - perfect for all types of learners.
