Welcome to CMS West and thank you for visiting my webpage! I'm looking forward to the 2021-22 school year and its unique challenges and opportunities!! This year, more than ever before, I believe that we need to work together as partners, so I hope that you will join me and embrace the philosophy that we are #StrongerTogether.
This will be my 25th year in education and my 20th year at West, where I have taught 7th and 8th grade Language Arts for the last eighteen. A lot has changed over those years, but one fact remains true: my goal for every learner is to help them succeed. Although "success" looks different for each learner, I look forward to figuring out what that means for them and guiding them along the way.
We will develop valuable life-long skills as we read and write extensively. Throughout the year, we will explore the many purposes of writing and use them for analysis and self-expression. Along the way, we will read together and independently, for academics and for pleasure!
