I am passionate about teaching and learning. The two go hand-in-hand. I have a BA from Ohio State in Educational Psychology and a Masters in Educational Leadership from Urbana University and I am currently working towards my doctorate in Education. I am a 14 year veteran middle school teacher with a licence in 1st-8th Grade General. I am a former National Board Certified Teacher and have worked with PRAXIS as a scorer and scoring supervisor. I have also worked as a College Adjunct Instructor in Education and English Composition. I tutor elementary students through adult professionals. Currently I am writing a series of books designed to help people pass the various teaching test using my "insider" knowledge of these tests. I am an English language nerd. Especially storytelling and language evolutions. I believe everyone can always learn more and new things. Outside of the classroom I love live theatre, good food, and traveling.
