I am a certified k-8 teacher who loves teaching poetry. I love to inspire learners to look at the world in a new way and describe it with figurative language.
I have been in love with all things Pokemon since I was a child. I started my Pokemon collection when I was in elementary school and have been playing Pokemon video games since Game Boy Colors were all the rage. I am proud to say I continue to love Pokemon. My favorite Pokemon of all time is Eevee because it has so many wonderful evolutions.
