...anything but lumber and the Little League World Series. My baseball (and all sports) career was mercifully short, and I became super interested in theater, graduating college with a degree in direction. Since I could first crack open a book and try to read, I've been an avid fan of learning - about things I never knew, about places I've only dreamed of visiting, and about people different from myself. I believe that we never...

Literature, foreign languages, and social studies are my specialties, but I'm comfortable in all subject areas. I'm an encouraging and warm presence in the classroom, and get to know the needs of the...

...That experience led me to many more international jobs. I've lived and worked overseas for over 10 years in Thailand, Hong Kong and London. At each stop along the way I've been privileged to be known as a reliable resource for those needing assistance with their English. Native speakers and ESL students alike. My approach is simple: I move at your pace until I'm confient you understand the material. Then a gentle push to the...

I love to read and believe that through reading, one can improve every...

All students, no matter how they learn, are entitled to a great education. Learning should be...

The takeaway I hope most to gain from it all is the ability to uncover what literature has to say about how we can help people overcome personal, as well as societal, obstacles.
