Bio  

I have been a teacher for a long time, and I absolutely enjoy it! I love teaching students new concepts and seeing them gain an appreciation for English Language Arts. This is my 12th year at Marbury High School. I love working here because we aren't too big, which allows me to get to know the students better and have more one-on-one interactions with them so I can help them learn. I consider myself to be a fun teacher who loves to make the students laugh. Overall, I truly enjoy what I do!
