| Introduction | I've been a social worker with an English degree for the past three years, but I'm finally back in the classroom to share my love for reading and writing with the middle school set. I'm a voracious reader of an eclectic mix of things -- southern lit, chick lit, mysteries, memoirs, foodie writings. My time is spent working, reading, volunteering for important causes when I can, reading, cooking (and trying new recipes), reading, spending time with family & friends, and... reading. |
