I`m a NY state certified high school English (and music) teacher for a New York City high school. I currently teach Advanced Placement English Literature and Composition. My passion is for literature (English and American), creative writing, and artistic historical periods. I`ve been teaching since 1992 and love it. Do I know it all? No! I`m a professional student. The best way to learn is to teach!

Experience in the area

I have taught freshman composition and literature (college-level) as well as Advanced Placement English Literature and Composition, and high school English.

What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?

I would love to earn my PhD in English at some future time.
