I am an English teacher and wrestling coach at Penn Wood High School. Formerly, I worked as an engineer, but after three years, I decided to make a fairly drastic career change. After obtaining my Master's in English Education at Villanova, I began teaching, first at the middle school level, and then at the high school level where I have been for the past two years.

I am passionate about literature and writing and try to convey that passion to my students. My goal is that all of my students become better writers, more creative thinkers, and that they all achieve to the best of their abilities.

SAT Writing

I have been a certified teacher of high school grammar and writing for 3 years.
