During my 9 years of teaching, I have taught in London, England; Ontario; public and private schools; elementary and secondary; junior; intermediate; core french; and now, developmental skills.

I am a Reading Specialist that has been incorporating technology in my practice consistently throughout my career. I have been writing since I was twelve and hope to fulfill my dream of writing things that matter to people. I have recently started blogging about my experiences as a teacher and hope to gain more experience as a writer through suite101.com. Whether poetry or prose, I hope my writing can engage and inspire you.

A blog about teaching from within. I share insights and stories about my experiences in the teaching profession and critique aspects of the education system in general. I aim to build confidence for teachers and raise student engagement.
