My career started with student teaching at Abraham Lincoln High School in Denver, Colorado in January of 1996.

Since then, I have taught in Washington State, Illinois, and Colorado, both high school and university methods classes (but mostly high school).

I am proud to be public school educated, K through PhD, with all but three of those years in Colorado schools (I earned my Master’s Degree at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign).

I am also a teacher consultant for the Colorado Writing Project.

My ultimate goal as a teacher is to invite my students to read our complex world so they can write their own futures within it.

I live and teach high school in Boulder, Colorado.
