Teaching and learning are the two most fruitful activites in the world. The more we learn, the more we want to know and share with others. So goes the circle. I look forward to teaching and learning with every class and have been doing so for many years in FL, GA, IL, and VA. I have an undergraduate degree in French and English from the University of Connecticut and a master's degree in English Education from Northern Illinois University - both home to "Husky" mascots. As is always the case, the start of a new semester is exciting, and I am eager to meet new teachers and learners. I am interested in hearing from you about what you think is important to your success, what you hope to achieve in this class, and how you plan to get there. Welcome to SP College and to a great educational opportunity!
