A teacher of twenty-three years, I’ve spent most of my teaching career in the Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia, where I have taught English 9 Honors, English 11, English 12, Yearbook, Speech, Creative Writing, Print Journalism, Broadcast Journalism, and middle school Read180 for five years. I also spent a year teaching English as a Foreign Language in the United Arab Emirates, plus a summer in the Czech Republic and a summer in China.
I recently moved to Maine, where I enjoyed a quarantined COVID life in the shade of a ski slope.
