Hobbies
I have taught English and Creative Writing at both the secondary school and university levels. I'm interested in helping students improve their writing, cultivate their inherent creativity, and develop life-long critical thinking strategies. I also love the outdoors, sports, music, art, and spending time with my young family and our black lab.
