I am an experienced, empathetic educator with over a decade of experience teaching literature, composition, creative writing, and ELA. Curious, creative, and nurturing, I excel at working with students who struggle with ADHD, executive functioning, and other behavioral issues. I believe in making education engaging, humane, and interesting.
