Regardless of the setting, she always creates engaging, collaborative, and inclusive classroom environments, where students' voices and choices are valued. She is very passionate about all things English, especially creative writing. She loves teaching students in middle and high school because that's the age when students are discovering their identities and who they want to be/what they want to do as adults.
