What I enjoy most about:
Teaching at All Saints - the Students, all school chapels with 4 year old-18 year olds

Teaching your subject - teaching students to appreciate and enjoy literature.

Teaching age group - Prior to teaching high school for 16 years, I spent 14 years teaching the 8th grade. It is one of the most important grades: social development; academic "preparedness"; and most importantly, spiritual/ethical/moral affirmation.

Goals for students:
Students should be prepared for upper school English and possess the ability to read and appreciate literature and confidently compose essays.

Outside interest:
being a grandmother, traveling (the beach renews my soul), and gardening
