"I have always imagined that Paradise
would be a kind of library." Jorge Luis Borges
This year is
my ninth at Grafton High School. My current teaching assignment
is the teaching of Advanced English 10, Mass Media and Advanced
Placement English 12. I also serve as English department chairperson
and adviser of the school newspaper, The
Ship's Log.
My teaching experience in York County started in 1987 at Bruton High, and I have also taught in central Virginia, Florida and Pennsylvania. School publications have been an area of interest for me, and I have served as adviser of school newspapers, literary magazines and yearbooks. The publications have won VHSL first place and trophy awards.
A graduate of Indiana University of Pennsylvania, I have completed graduate work in communications at Shippensburg (PA) University. Mu summer studies have included the Eastern Virginia Writing Project at the College of William and Mary as well as summer institutes focusing on China, India, Japan at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts. This year, I have been honored as the 2007 York County Teacher of the Year.
I am an active member of the York Education Association as well as the NEA and VEA, the NCTE (National Council of Teachers of English), VAJTA (Virginia Association of Journalism Teachers) and the JEA (Journalism Education Association).
