About Me: 
The 2024-2025 school year will be my 11th year at Wall High School. In my time at Wall High School I have previously taught English in the 9th, 10th, 11th, and 12th grade levels. I am currently the SAT Prep Night Course Instructor. I am also proud to be an instructor in the Knights for Success Program after school. For the 2022-2023 school year, I had the honor of being the Governor's Teacher of the Year for Wall High School.

I am proud to take an active role in our school community. I am currently the Yoga Club Advisor and the Care Club Co-Advisor. I am the Co-Advisor for National Honor Society. I truly love collaborating with students on projects that make our school a better place.

Outside of school, I enjoy spending time with my husband and dog, Lincoln. We love taking Lincoln on adventures to local trails on the weekends. As an English teacher, I am an avid reader and lifelong lover of books. As Albus Dumbledore explains in JK Rowling's Harry Potter, "words are [...] our most inexhaustible source of magic." 

I practice yoga and am a certified yoga instructor (RYT-200). I am also a SEL and Minfdulness Facilitator and hold a Chair Yoga Certification. Join our Wellness Coalition Google Classroom (Care Club + Yoga Club + Be Well Club) to join us in wellness practices this year. 

I am also a lover of travel. We live in a world that is full of beauty, charm, and adventure. A few of my favorite places I have been fortunate enough to visit are: South Africa, Peru, and Iceland. I have proudly had the honor of exploring 29 countries, with many more (I hope) in my future. 

I like to keep the bulletin board behind my desk filled with photos of all these things I love, so stop by my classroom anytime to see for yourself 😊
