About

I began my teaching career in my early 20s as an English as a Second Language (ESL) instructor overseas. After three years of teaching and traveling in Turkey and Romania, I returned to the U.S. and settled in Baltimore, Md. I went to graduate school, taught high school English for several years, and briefly worked as a curriculum content creator. Then, before coming to CSM, I taught English at Howard Community College in Columbia, Md. and at Stevenson University in Owings Mills, Md.

Educational Background

Master of Arts in Teaching English, Loyola University Maryland
Bachelor of Arts in English Language and Literature with Minor in History, University of Georgia

Q&A

Please describe your teaching style.

I value student-centered learning approaches in the classroom, and I strive to be flexible and equitable in my teaching practice. I enjoy using accessible websites, tools, and media to make course content engaging for students. Some of my pedagogical interests include gamification, trauma-informed teaching practices, and the use of play in the college classroom.

Do you have any passions or interests that you would like to share?

I'm passionate about animals, nature, and art and design. I love hiking and going on adventures.
