About Me
I've taught English, drama, and journalism in Brooklyn, N.Y., and Virginia, where I'm now a reading specialist. I was honored in Who's Who Among American Teachers in 2004, '05, and '06 and earned my degrees from the College of William & Mary.
How I Teach
My teaching style is all about changing things up a lot and it's got to have humor!
