Seattle Public Schools

I have a bachelor’s in English Literature from Wheaton College and a Master’s in Teaching from Seattle Pacific University and have taught at West Seattle High School since 2006.

• I teach senior Comparative Literature and Composition as well as Advanced Placement Literature and Composition.
• I also guide students through the senior project, a multi-step research project which involves a research paper, action step and speech.
• I push students to practice meta-cognition, close reading, questioning, discussion and speaking skills.
• I love to see students make connections, both personal and intellectual.
