I teach ELA at a public charter school in Atlanta which is also an International Baccalaureate Middle Years Programme. I have only taught for 6 years but have always taught middle school and always taught at an MYP school. I love it!! Coming to teaching later in my life, I enjoy every moment and am always challenged to be the best teacher I can be. That's what makes it such a grand adventure!

Went back to community college after my daughter, my youngest, was in 2nd grade & eventually earned my Associates degree. With my good grades I was offered transfer fellowships/scholarships to Cornell & UC, Berkeley & I moved with her to Berkeley where I earned my B.A. in Cognitive Science in 2001. Soon afterwards, I applied to grad school & received a fellowship to UC, San Diego where I'll finish my Ph.D. in Psychology & Cognitive Science in 2011. I'm an interim Instructor there but hope to find a permanent teaching position when I graduate.

I work in a team-teaching situation.
