Hobbies

I love reading and writing. My first love is poetry and I spend what spare time I have reading and writing mostly poetry. I also enjoy teaching and helping students find their own voice through their writing projects. I appreciate that learning to write and write well is not easy and everyone learns in their own way and at their own pace. I strive to approach each student and each project as an individual. My goal is to encourage the student to recognize their own potential and process.
