6th Grade LA
I attended UIC and have a bachelor’s in Secondary Education – Teaching of English, with a middle school endorsement. I’ve been teaching since 2010. I most enjoy teaching classic American literature and modern YA novels with social justice themes. I also enjoy teaching writing, especially poetry and creative writing. I grew up in the countryside of downstate IL, though I’ve lived in Chicago for more than 10 years now. I spend my free time traveling, sewing, attending concerts and music festivals, and baking.
