About Me
I was the only person in my college journalism class who enjoyed the peer review process and I bring that love of careful writing into my classes at Hinsdale South High School in Darien, Ill. I hold degrees from the University of Missouri-Columbia.
How I Teach
My teaching style is fast-paced and straight to the point. I love that teaching is a new game every day and that I never get bored.
