This is the reason why I became an educator. My certification is in Secondary Education Grade levels 8-12, English Language Arts. I have taught AP British Literature 12th Grade, American Literature 11th Grade, AP American Literature 11th Grade, English II 10th Grade, English I 9th Grade, Creative Writing 10th-12th Grade, English as a Second Language (ESL) 9th-12th Grade, and Reading 10th-12th Grade. As an educator I have focused on getting students prepared for writing at the college level, to become critical readers, and well processed writers. I teach students respect for both language and literature (writing and reading).I have a Masters of Science in psychology with a focus in adolescent studies. Aside from teaching high school English, I also have tutored Intro to Psychology, focusing on theories and applications. This survey course explores the foundations of psychology and how modern theories are applied overall. My drive in teaching is to reassure students that it is a journey where challenges are faced and accomplishments are celebrated.

Love cooking, I find this very calming and it allows me to tap into my creativity. Of course reading is something that I do enjoy, primarily the historical stories with a twist are my favorites!!
