Above photo: In 2013, I taught Writing to 7th graders in Mumbai, India. Click on the button above to see a digital story about my experience.
. . . and 11 years later, I'm still learning. Only now, I'm out of the classroom and working as an instructional coach. I'm passionate about student-centered and constructivist learning, and I try to keep up with all the changes that are happening in education today by reading extensively and attending as many professional workshops and seminars as possible. I am also a member of the Leadership Team for the Illinois Writing Project. I do some consulting work as well—both here in Chicago and in other parts of the world. I have used technology extensively in the classroom, but there is always more to learn, so right now I am expanding my knowledge by taking a tech class at Dominican University. This website will serve to showcase new learning.
