Camp English Professor
English Teacher/Tutor & Camp English Director
My Philosophy
Education is my life and my calling. The English language ignites my love of reading and writing, and I wish for it to be the same for others. As a mother, teacher, and tutor, I know how important it is to encourage daily learning. This knowledge inspires my life and my career goals.
I will continue my work as a college professor, as a writer of short shorts and poems, and as a publisher of research. In the future, I hope to establish websites relevant to critical thinking and English composition.I am eager to fulfill my legacy as a change agent.

Professional Development:
- This was for a presentation I did at CSCC's 2013 Faculty Exchange Conference. It was called Ebonics in the Classroom and discussed the elements of Ebonics that make it a language, and how we can implement this knowledge in our college classrooms: Ebonics in the Classroom
- To complete my M.A. in English, I had a capstone project. This presentation is a collection of research papers on Ebonics and African American literature as well as practical ideas for putting theory into practice: Where Experience Meets Composition: A collection of research, reflection and practical plans for reaching the African American student
