I was born into a military family, so we moved a lot. I've lived all over this country, as well as on another continent. I've been living in North Haven for over 20+ years, though, and I'm the proud parent of a North Haven High School graduate and future teacher.
I didn't love to read until I found my own reasons to do so, and my mission is to pay that experience forward to students who, perhaps, have not yet found their passion for human story-telling and effective communication in their own voice.
- I graduated from Xavier High School in 1992.
- I graduated from Quinnipiac College with a Bachelor's degree in English in 1996.
- I graduated from Quinnipiac University with a Master's in Teaching (English) in 2001, my second full year of teaching and my first year as a North Haven educator.
I have been teaching or otherwise involved in public education since August of 1999. My first experience of being an educator was as an intern at the old North Haven High School, where I was enlisted as a long-term sub before I'd taken a single grad school class. The following academic year I taught English at Hamden High School, as I also completed my second year of grad school. I have taught at North Haven High School ever since.
Expect all necessary materials and assignments to be provided/posted both in my classroom and on our Google Classroom.
English 9 L1/L2, Humanities English 10L4, Science Fiction 12 L1/L2, Short Fiction 12 L1/L2, Secrets and Lies 12 L1/L2, Shakespeare 12 L1/L2, and UConn English 12L4 are my standard course offerings.
Left to my own devices, I love nothing better than reading a book or catching up on some science fiction media or puttering around in my workshop/garage. :)
