About The Teacher

I have been teaching at HCMS for the past 9 years and I love it. I completed 
my student teaching here and just couldn't bear to leave, so I made sure I 
was hired here. Since I started, I have only taught 6th grade English and I 
can't imagine teaching anything else.

I have many hobbies to keep me busy. I LOVE to read, especially young adult 
literature. I have a bookshelf of YAL books in my classroom, and I've read 
most of the books. Some of my favorites are the Harry Potter series(Rowling), 
The City of Ember (DuPrau), and Tangerine (Bloor). My new favorite adult 
novel is The Shadow of the Wind.

When I'm not reading, I'm often watching TV or movies. I can't seem to get 
enough of the crime dramas and Grey's Anatomy. However, my favorite show is 
Psych (on USA). It's funny and interesting to watch Shawn and Gus solve real 
crimes with their fake psychic skills. I have too many favorites movies, but 
here are a few: Hero, Forrest Gump, The Incredibles, The Lord of the Rings, 
Bend It Like Beckham, Clue, The Red Violin, The Pirates of the Carribean. I'm 
sure I could name more if I had to...

On a more professional note, I graduated with my Bachelor's degree in English 
education from Towson University. I have since gone back to Towson for my 
Master's degree in English education. From these experiences, I've realized 
that I love being a student, as well as a teacher. I fully intend to continue 
going back to school to learn all I can.
