About Me: I am excited to be entering my fourth year of teaching English and coaching track at JF.  
I will be teaching the dual enrollment College Composition and World Literature (college literature) courses this coming year. 

"Without language, one cannot talk to people and understand them; one cannot share their hopes and aspirations, grasp their history, appreciate their poetry, or savor their songs."  
   
   - Nelson Mandela


If I could sum up my beliefs on what English class should be in a single quote, this would be it.  I believe English is about learning communication; this is communication with each other, communication with texts, and communication with ourselves.  The ability to do this effectively is the intended goal and outcome of my courses.
