For over twenty years, I have loved the craft of teaching writing to middle and high school learners. I am a published educational writer, and it is my joy to create model essay outlines and essays from which my students can study the art of the literary essay. I am a kind and compassionate soul, and I care about what my students think, feel and value. I am a good listener. As a student advisor and licensed coach of many years, I have learned that in listening to my students I am able to discern how to shape optimal educational experiences for them. I am accepting of the fact that not every student loves English, literature/story and writing as I do. I meet my students where they are, and I am their biggest cheerleader as they pursue their personal best in my classes.
