Teaching

I graduated from D’Youville College in 2003, with a Master of Science in Education.

I am certified to teach secondary English, and I am a member of the National Council of Teachers of English.

I currently teach high school English at a Catholic co-ed high school. I teach British Literature, AP Literature and Composition, and English 10.

I’m also an adjunct professor of English at a local college. My past teaching experience includes long-term substitute positions at both the middle school and high school levels, and day-to-day substitute teaching at all levels.
