I became an English teacher because I believe that being a good communicator is the key to a life that is fulfilling and successful. I love how a text can spark a discussion and how even a 500 year old Shakespeare play can be interpreted in new ways by the next generation. |
'When in doubt, go to the library!' My passion for reading and writing is what led me to my career in teaching. I love nothing more than discussing a good book and listening to the new and exciting ideas the students discover.

"Words are sacred. If you get the right ones, in the right order, you can nudge the world a little." I became an English teacher because I believe in the power of the spoken and written word to transform our lives and our world.

"Why must our only options be to squawk and settle or to leave the nest? What if I want to fly?" - Eloise Bridgerton Children deserve the equal opportunity to flourish, to grow their own wings, and to fly in whatever direction they choose; I became an English teacher to help them on their journey.

"But screw your courage to the sticking place, and we'll not fail" – Lady Macbeth I became a teacher to inspire - strive to become the best version of yourself by always rising above whatever life throws at you. |
