It has been my pleasure to teach English at Abington High School since 2000. Over the past eleven years, I have served as advisor to the National Honor Society, as well as other co-curricular groups. I recently co-chaired the NEASC self-study process for accreditation and continue to serve on the follow up committee. Before entering the teaching profession, I worked for several years as a corporate trainer. I studied Art History as an undergrad and continue to appreciate creative expression. I am an avid reader and enjoy a variety of genres, from British chic lit, to political commentary, and everything in between. My current challenge is finding ways to effectively integrate today's innovative technology into the English Language Arts classroom.
