I am currently an ELA instructor seeking opportunities to further utilize my writing expertise and expand upon five years of experience managing a classroom.I have been writing in various capacities for nearly 15 years, though most of my work falls within academia. Previously, I contributed a chapter to the book "I'm Afraid Of That Water: A Collaborative Ethnography of a West Virginia Water Crisis", published in 2020 by WVU Press. In 2023, I completed a technical writing program through Rowan-Cabarrus Community College. I began teaching in 2020 and have delivered instruction to middle school students at all levels, both in-person and remote. In 2021, I was nominated as Beginning Teacher of the Year within my school district. Since then, I have taken courses in ESL instruction through the University of North Carolina Greensboro and will acquire ESL licensure in the summer of 2025.I am eager to connect with other professionals who are passionate about what they do and excited to grow their expertise.
