After graduating from St. Xavier in 1990, I attended Xavier University where
I earned a B.A. in English as well as both a minor in philosophy and
certification in secondary education. I also hold an M.A. in English which I
earned at Xavier University in December, 2001. During my studies, I took
courses in such subjects as Renaissance (non-Shakespearean) drama,
Shakespearean drama, women's literature, literary theory, British Romantic
poetry, 17th-century metaphysical poetry, contemporary experimental American
poetry, theories of writing and of teaching writing, and African-American
literature.
Since beginning my career at Elder in 1994, I have taught English I (level 3,
level 4, and level 5), English II (level 3), English III (level 2), and
various electives on poetry, film, and literary theory.
I run with the Cross Country team (even in the winter), and I enjoy attending
school sporting events, dances, and other extra-curricular activities.
Additionally, I serve as chairperson of the English Department.
On weekends, holiday breaks, and during the summer I work as a pharmacy
technician.
