I am a graduate of Central Michigan University, and the 2019-2020 school year will be the start of my 18th year teaching at St. Louis High School. I have a Bachelor of Science Degree in Secondary Education with a Major in Business Education and a Minor in English. I also have a Master of Arts in English Language and Literature with additional coursework in Composition. I have taught Business, English, and yearbook courses, and I use technology in my classroom extensively. I utilize Google Education Applications, Microsoft Office Suite, and Adobe Creative Cloud. I also teach Graphic Design and photography skills in my yearbook production class. Outside of the classroom, I have been involved in developing and teaching workshops on technology for elementary and secondary teachers. I am also a member of the National Council of Teachers of English, and I have served as a guest editor for Pedagogy: A Critical Approach to Teaching Literature, Language, Composition, and Culture published by Duke University Press.
