"English teacher and professor with over ten years experience. I am a NYC public school English teacher, part time CUNY professor and forth year PhD student at Teachers College, Columbia University. I specialize in writing instruction and blending social emotional learning alongside literacy instruction. I have extensive experience working with struggling readers and writers, and understand how to tailor individual instruction to learners of all abilities and language proficiency. I enjoy blending arts based lessons alongside traditional English instruction as a way to engage imagination and creativity.

I have over ten years experience designing lessons aligned to the Common Core and preparing students for exams aligned with these standards.

I am an experienced teacher and professor researching relevant and contemporary ways to engage students in reading and writing. I have tutored students in college composition as well as on the graduate and secondary levels.

I have prepared students for the grade 11 English Regents as well as the Global and American History Regents.
