Teaching Philosophy / Goals

To challenge.  To inspire.  To communicate.  To share.  To acknowledge.  To question.

These are just a few of the actions at the heart of my classroom and my teaching philosophy.  So many of us never know what we are capable of accomplishing until someone believes in us.




Interests

Inside of school, I'm interesting in tutors as paraprofessionals and writing/writing center theory.  I love both the classroom and the ARC.  More importantly, I respect the individuals with whom I work, and I am so fortunate to have a dedicated, talented, and entertaining student and professional team!

Outside of class, I'm an avid scrapbooker who also enjoys photography, kayaking, traveling, and all of my pets - a dog, 2 cats, and a rabbit!
