"A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies. The man who never reads lives only one." - George R. R. Martin
 
  I have been teaching English to gifted and talented 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students at Mount Vernon Middle School since 2013.  I have a bachelor’s degree from Sarah Lawrence College and a Master of Education from The Ohio State University. I acquired my gifted and talented intervention specialist license from The University of Cincinnati. In addition to a passion for reading and writing, I love to travel, write poetry, and spend time outdoors!
