I love middle schoolers. Their bright, curious minds, strong opinions, and tendency to argue are all food for an interactive English class. I enjoy wrestling classic novels with them, examining different points of view, and helping them create written arguments that are strong and logical. Doing all of this at Lake Michigan Catholic, where I graduated from many years ago, and in the context of our Catholic faith, is a true blessing

When I’m not teaching, you might find me running my two girls back and forth between elementary school and middle school activities. Hazel is in 6th grade and Hannah is in 5th. I also might be found novel writing, supporting all local coffee shops, or stitching little pieces of geometric fabrics together at the local quilt guild.
