You've stumbled upon my classroom website...Thanks. I am a Language and Literature (English) at Edison (an IB school). This is my tenth year (first in high school) and it just keeps getting better.
I have an undergraduate degree from The Ohio State University in English Literature. There I played lacrosse and performed in a few plays: "The Bald Soprano" and Lear (an absurdist rendition of William Shakespeare's King Lear).
I earned my Master of Education from the University St. Thomas in 2009 and have been teaching in Minneapolis ever since.
I'm married and have two boys and three cats. In my free time I read, write, and run, but not all at the same time.
