I have a Bachelor of English Literature. I have worked as a classical English teacher; before that, I led book discussions as a homeschool mom. I also host adult book club discussions.

I completed curriculum and instruction college coursework at Texas State University including "Adolescents and Society" and "Secondary Teaching: Curriculum and Technology."  In these courses, I learned how to teach and present lessons objectively. The courses focused on diversity and inclusion and the effects of learning environments on the developing identities of students. All literature includes cultural and/or religious elements. As a teacher, it is my responsibility to present all literature in an unbiased way.

As a multi-racial ethnic minority, I grew up exposed to many different cultures. In addition, my interracial family also included my younger brother with Down Syndrome. As someone who experienced a unique upbringing, I'm sensitive to the unique lived experiences of others.
