About Me.
“If you are doing what everyone else is doing, you are doing something wrong. Why? Because most people are not obtaining results that are considered extraordinary.” -Andy Andrews
I’m your child’s English teacher this year at Hazard Middle School! This is my tenth year teaching, and I earned my bachelor’s degree from the University of Kentucky and my master’s degree from Austin Peay State University. Normal teachers get normal results, so my hope for this year is that your child experiences a class unlike any other class they’ve ever taken. My class structure and pedagogical practices are based on the best research available, and I incorporate humor, engaging activities, gamified learning, and rich multimedia into every single class period. With the exception of my very first year of teaching, my students have scored in the top ten in the state of Kentucky on standardized tests every single year, and I hope to continue the streak this year! I’m thrilled to be teaching your child's English this year. I have a deep love for teaching and working with children, and I hope that your child grows as a learner and a person this year. If I can ever do anything to help your child succeed, please reach out! EDUCATION
