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.
