As a dedicated educator with over 13 years of teaching experience, I am passionate about helping students master English grammar and syntax. I hold a Bachelor's degree in English education from North Carolina State University and am certified to teach in North Carolina. My teaching philosophy centers on connecting the writing process to students' personal experiences, making lessons relatable and engaging. I aim to break down complex concepts into manageable steps, ensuring students understand the "why" behind their writing. As the speech and debate coach at Cary High School, I also focus on developing strong argumentation skills and public speaking techniques.
