| Interests | This is my third year at Bedford, and I'll be teaching Honors English 11, English 11, and a trimester of English 9. For the last two years, I've taught College Prep English 12 and English 9. Before coming to Bedford, I taught English 8-10, and other writing and publications classes for seven years at Sand Creek High School. I graduated from University of Michigan in '97 with B.A.s in English and Psychology and completed an M.A. in Secondary English Education in '98. In '04, I completed an M.A. in English Literature from University of Toledo. My husband, Mike, is also a teacher and loves literature- he named our dogs after two great American authors- Zora Neal Hurston and Louis L'Amour. I have a fifteen month old daughter, Lucy, whose favorite book is Brown Bear, Brown Bear. |
