As a high school language arts teacher and coach, I am dedicated to fostering a love for reading and writing in my students. I believe that language arts is not just about learning to read, write, speak, and master grammar—it's about using these skills as a channel to become, to be, to find oneself, and to live with purpose and intention, rooted in core values that serve the greater good.

​

My teaching philosophy revolves around the following core principles.

 

• Concept-Based Learning: Encouraging deep understanding by connecting concepts to real-world contexts.

• Self-Directed Learning: Empowering students to take charge of their own learning journey, fostering independence, and critical thinking.

• Student Agency: Promoting student voice and choice in the classroom, allowing them to explore their interests and passions
