I have been teaching for 20+ years and have worked in Early College High Schools for 5+ years. I also teach ENG-111 and ENG-112 at Pitt Community College and Craven Community College. I even spent a year teaching ENGL 1100 and ENGL 2201 at ECU. I have taught English I, English III, English IV, AVID I, AVID IV, and Civics and Economics. I am a huge nerd who loves to read (especially fantasy), craft, play board and video games, build LEGO, watch TV (especially reality TV), kayak, and RV camping. I also love my dogs, Revi, Angus, and Bowie. This year I am starting my EdD in Educational Administration with a concentration in Instructional Technology. I also have graduate degrees in Secondary English Education, Instructional Technology, and Multicultural and Transnational Literature. My goal is to ensure that students are able to meet their academic and real-world goals as they move through the early college program and beyond.
