"I am an award-winning poet and essayist with fifteen years experience teaching high school aged students at renowned independent schools. My sixth book is forthcoming in April, 2013, and my essays and poems appear in over 100 magazines worldwide. But more importantly, I inspire my students and guide them in achieving success they never thought possible. I am a passionate and patient teacher who believes every student has innate strengths and abilities; he or she only needs the right mentor to lead the way."
