Hello! I am happily an adjunct professor at the University of Maine who teaches in the English Department and also in my home department of Education. I am currently working on finishing my doctoral degree and had chosen to explore English 101 as an opportunity for me to gain a better skill set overall in teaching English. Prior to entering the college scene 4 years ago, I was a PreK-12 Special Education teacher who taught for 15 years in the schools. My academic goals are to work as a professor as I absolutely enjoy working with college students, particularly in writing. My main focus is on “diversity and identity in writing” and I enjoy guiding students to find their own voice within the English 101 program.

Courses Taught:

English 101, EHD 101, EHD 202, EHD 320 – The one I am the most proud of are my English 101 courses this semester (Fall 2023). I have made the program mine and used adaptations from my experience in Special Education to help students learn more about their own identity and also more easily access the writing program.

Research Interests:

Diversity and Identity in College Freshmen
